Income Along the Boston T [Green Line]

January 2, 2018

In the first two parts of this series, we looked at the changes in income along the The Orange Line and The Red Line. I went through my approach for creating a New Yorker inspired visualization of income along the Boston T.

For this post, we take a look at the The Green Line. Below you will see median household income along each of the four lines of the Boston Green Line.

A few notes:
1. Census tracts cover about 1,200 and 8,000 people.
2. The census tract for Park and Boylston St. did not return a median household income, so I used an adjacent census tract instead.
3. Sadly, plotly does not support hover on mobile. So, if you want to see more info try hovering over the markers on your laptop.
4. For code details, please see the first first post.

In Part IV, we will take a look at the The Blue Line.
