Understanding Hardship and Transportation Access in Chicago

KJ Schmidt and Aristana Scourtas

A project for the Data Analytics in Transportation and Urban Development class at Northwestern University

This repository contains the visualization and statistical code for understanding the relationship between living hardship and accessibility to public transportation in the city of Chicago.

We quantified these phenomena with a Hardship Index (calculated by the US Census), based on various socioeconomic factors, and a Transit Score (calculated by WalkScore), based on proximity to various kinds of public transportation modes.

Thus far, there does not appear to be any definitive relationship between the two measures. More research is required.

You can see some of our results and interactive visualizations here.
