This interactive map was created to visually explore the relation between Twitter activity and gentrification.
Aggregated Twitter data and gentrification/displacement typologies were provided by the Urban Displacement Project at UC Berkeley, as part of my NYU-CUSP 2019 capstone project. Supplementary data on neighborhood names was obtained from NYC DCP, and Python was used to process and clean the datasets. Shapefiles from the NYC Planning Metro Explorer were used to obtain the NYC geography and a spatial join via QGIS tied the two together.
