Illustrating Biasis in the Distribution of Recreational Opportunities and Fresh Food in NYC


Map Analysis: Basketball Court Distribution

There are more basketball courts provided in tracts with higher proportions of a black population. This is especially true in Brookyn (specifically the eastern portion of the borough).

In lookng at income, the same pattern results where the distribution of basketball courts is concetrated in areas of lower income. This is espcially true in the eastern portion of Brooklyn.

There is no clear correlation between basketball court distribution in relation to the white population. It is clear that basketball courts are distributed more heavily in areas of lower income. This is especially true in the eastern portion of Brooklyn.
