Mapping Gentrification

Now that you have determined which tracts were gentrifiable in 2000 and which were gentrifying between 2000 and 2010, you will create a choropleth map. You will create a basemap of the Census tracts from 2000, and add layers of the gentrifiable and gentrifying tracts with custom-selected colors.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Create a basemap of bk_2000 with a fill color of "white" and an edgecolor of "lightgray"
  • Filter bk_2000 to plot only the gentrifiable tracts
  • Now filter bk_2010 (Note the year) to plot only the gentrifying tracts using "red"
