The most interesting thing I stumbled across so far is Detroit, where people don't run in huge swaths of the neighborhoods. I'm familiar with the city so I expected dead zones, but nothing like this.

- Strom 9y ago> where people don't run More accurately it's where people don't send their tracking data. Plausible to also say that it's where people don't own this tracking software/device at all. However it seems like a gigantic stretch to derive that there's no running going on.

- frakkingcylons 9y agoThat's true. Nevertheless, it's interesting (though unsurprising), to see the areas where Strava users don't run.

- llimllib 9y agoIn the US, it's almost entirely rich, white people that upload data to strava. You can easily see racial/economic divisions in any major united states city. Baltimore is a great example[1]; white people live in the center but not on the east or west sides (Canton excepted). [1]: https://i.imgur.com/RXSfgz1.jpg https://i.imgur.com/RXSfgz1.jpg
- citrin_ru 9y agoI'm not sure it is that simple. May be college/university education is a better predictor for Strava usage. But given that education in the US correlates with both race and income it is hard to say without controlling other variables.
