That's exactly the point behind "Crime Doesn't Climb" - it's a reference to the wealthy being "Up the Hill". Though there are some flatter high wealth areas in the city, the hills are much more exclusively wealthy.
To your point on mean versus median, I agree that median is more accurate. Even better would be homeless %, or % under poverty.
- geebee 13y agoThis is why I'd be interested in looking at the graph for the neighborhoods south of 280, particularly in the eastern section of the city. In many areas, property values drop and elevations rise as you head south. That doesn't necessarily mean more crime, nor does it necessarily mean an identical mix of crime. That's a big part of why it would be so interesting to take a look. I really like the work here. Very cool graph and visualization, and if there are things I'd like to see, it's not that they are "missing", it's that the approach is triggering some ideas for how to look at and interpret the data.
