Allston/Brighton Demographics and Health Data: 2014 Allston/Brighton Demographics and Health Data: 2014 Anna Leslie, MPH Coordinator, Allston Brighton Health Collaborative September 2014 Introduction The purpose of this report is to provide existing data on the Boston district of Allston/Brighton and to accurately depict neighborhood needs as they relate to public health. The report also aims to identify underserved populations within the district and recommend strategies that the Allston Brighton Health Collaborative (ABHC) may adopt to address those needs. Strategies may integrate aspects of the social determinants of health. Recommendations are based on: - Comparative analysis between A/B population demographics and selected health indicators and those of Boston. - Analysis of demographic data for A/B - Extensive informational interviews with ABHC member organizations. This serves as an update to the 2012 Health Assessment conducted by the ABHC. This report will use the Institute of Medicine’s definition of public health as society’s collective effort in “assuring conditions in which people can be healthy.” i Conditions are influenced at the social, economic, cultural, health, and environmental levels, and are included in the social determinants of health. For the purposes of clarity, Allston/Brighton will be referred to as one district and two neighborhoods. This report does not function as a published document and any information reproduced must be properly attributed. 2 Demographics Five regions are summarized in the following demographic data: the neighborhoods of Allston and Brighton, the district of Allston/Brighton, the region of Allston/Brighton/Fenway-Kenmore (A/B/F) non-college enrolled population, and the city of Boston. The Allston and Brighton neighborhoods are included separately and together as many organizations and institutions distinguish these communities in different ways. The A/B/F non-college enrolled population is included as a comparative data set; Allston and Brighton data consistently include college students, who are by and large temporary residents. (The Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood cannot be differentiated from this data set, and so is also included.) The city of Boston is included as comparative data. Current data is used when available, otherwise 2010 Census data is used. 2010 Census data is sourced instead of multi-year average estimates when possible. NOTE: While the A/B district is one of Boston’s largest, it remains a difficult area to accurately quantify. Residents often define neighborhood lines differently from city institutions such as the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA). Additionally, the student populations of Boston University, Boston College, and Harvard University that live in the district are included in Census counts. While some of these students may choose to stay in the district upon graduation, many of these students are temporary residents. At this time, it is unknown how many registered students live in the district, although the Boston City Council recently required that such data become available.1 It will be informative to tease out this population in order to capture more accurate demographic data on the district’s permanent population. The only non-student data that exist for the district include the adjacent neighborhood of Fenway-Kenmore. All data regarding the A/B district must be reviewed with the knowledge that they include a population of temporary residents who are predominantly White/non-Hispanic or Latino, between the ages of 17-23, and have completed high school and/or college. 2 For this reason, it is difficult to 1 Abelson, Jenn. “Colleges in Boston required to release off-campus addresses.” The Boston Globe. 8/21/14. http://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/08/20/colleges-boston-required-release-off-campus- addresses/2RQi6RUTOw8pnuYiopmuWO/story.html 2 43% of BU’s undergrads are White http://www.bu.edu/admissions/about-bu/. 32% of BC’s undergrads are non-White/Hispanic. http://www.bc.edu/about/bc-facts.html. “Approximately 1,270 BC undergraduates live in off-campus housing, with the majority of them living in the Allston-Brighton area.” An additional 3,201 live on-campus in Boston. https://www.bc.edu/content/dam/files/sites/imp/pdf/zoning_commision_/03_Campus_Demographi.pdf 3 determine whether the district’s demographic data accurately capture the permanent population, or whether the data are skewed because of the student population. With the aid of anecdotal experience and the A/B/F non-college enrolled population data set, it is likely that A/B is older and has a lower median household income than Census data suggest.

    1515 Commonwealth Avenue Public Comments via website form 2019-08-07.xlsx Date First Name Last Name Organization Opinion Comments 7/15/2019 Sheila Quinn Resident Neutral The PNF notes that it is anticipated to have enough sewer capacity in the existing 10" sewer main in Commonwealth Avenue. The project is estimated to generate 49,940 GPD of wasterwater. Per the NEIWPCC TP-16 a peak flow factor of 5.6 should be used to evaluate peak sewer flows. This indicates the peak flow from the project would be 0.43 cfs. The sewer mains existing capacity is noted as 4.95 cfs. This means this one project would be using almost 10% of sewer mains capacity. Additionally studies should be required to determine if additional capacity is required in the street to handle this project. If pumps are required for a the buildings a domestic water it should be reviewed if the DEP will require permitting to the modification of public drinking water system. 7/10/2019 Justin Brown 350Mass Neutral Greetings — The Boston Climate Action plan is calling for carbon neutrality by 2050. All new Allston-Brighton construction, therefore, should be designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as much as possible. In Boston, buildings account for approximately 70% of emissions. The mayor is fully committed to phasing our construction that relies on natural gas or other fossil fuels for heating and cooling. It is my hope that you have plans for 1515 Commonwealth Ave. that includes the most ambitious net zero construction possible. Best, Justin Brown 7/9/2019 Carol Boggs Allston Brighton Oppose We need to start planning development with an eye to livability.

  • Michelle Wu President, Boston City Council
    Michelle Wu President, Boston City Council Michelle Wu has been a voice for accessibility, transparency, and community engagement in city leadership. First elected to the Boston City Council in November 2013 at the age of 28, Wu is the first Asian-American woman to serve on the Council. In January 2014, she was elected President of the City Council by her colleagues in a unanimous vote, becoming the first woman of color to serve as Council President. Councilor Wu was the lead sponsor of Boston’s Paid Parental Leave ordinance and Healthcare Equity ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on gender identity -- both of which passed unanimously through the Council and were signed into law by Mayor Martin J. Walsh. She also authored Boston’s Communications Access ordinance, which guarantees translation, interpretation and assistive technology for access to city services regardless of English language proficiency or communications disability. Wu got her start in City Hall working for Mayor Thomas M. Menino as a Rappaport Fellow in Law and Public Policy, where she created the city’s first guide to the restaurant permitting process from start to finish, and was also a driving force to launch Boston’s food truck program. She later served as statewide Constituency Director in the U.S. Senate campaign of her former law professor, Elizabeth Warren. Michelle Wu graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. She is fluent in Mandarin and Spanish, and lives in Roslindale with her husband Conor and her two year-old son Blaise. U HARVARD CLUB OF BOSTON Boston’s Most Influential Women.
