Allston/Brighton Demographics and Health Data: 2014

Anna Leslie, MPH Coordinator, Brighton Health Collaborative September 2014

Introduction

The purpose of this report is to provide existing data on the 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 College, and 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 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

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.

8 Analysis and Recommendations:

Allston/Brighton is the home to 12% of Boston’s population. The district’s average age is below the Boston average. Over two-thirds of the district is White compared with less than half for Boston. Over half of neighborhood residents live in nonfamily households compared with less than one third of the city. Forty percent of A/B is between the ages of 20-29, compared with just over one quarter of Boston. The district has a lower family household income and per capita income than Boston, but a lower unemployment rate. Two-thirds of the district lives in Brighton, which also has a higher median age and a larger percentage of White/non-Hispanic or Latino residents than Allston. Brighton also has a higher median household income than Allston. While both neighborhoods have approximately 30% foreign-born residents, higher than the Boston average, the origins of these residents differ. The top three countries of origin for Allston are China (20.5%), El Salvador (9.3%), and (7.2%). The top three countries of origin for Brighton’s foreign-born residents are China (19.1%,) (10.2%), and (9%). Boston’s top three countries of origin are Dominican Republic (10%), China (10%), and Haiti (8%). vi

Age: It is difficult to determine age data of permanent residents, as noted above. Informational interviews with ABHC members suggest that the ABHC serves all ages in a variety of capacities. While many organizations are focused specifically on youth or those sixty-five and older, many organizations and programs work with or represent all ages. As the district’s dominant age brackets remain uncertain or ill defined, the ABHC is advised to look internally at what ages are served well and which ages are underserved.

Race/Ethnicity: A/B contains a high percentage of White residents in comparison to other districts. Both neighborhoods have a higher percentage of Asian residents than the Boston average, but lower percentages of Hispanic/Latino or African American residents. These data, in conjunction with statistics on region of birth for the foreign born and language spoken at home, highlight the Asian community, (and particularly the Chinese community), as a large minority population in Allston/Brighton. The ABHC, however, currently has only one member organization that solely represents the Asian community. It is recommended that the ABHC review whether there are opportunities to increase involvement of the Asian community in ABHC efforts.

9

Nativity and Region of Birth: While the majority of Allston and Brighton residents are U.S. citizens, the percentage of non- U.S. citizen Allston residents is greater than the Boston average. (This may be due to the large number of college students living in Allston, some of who are from other countries.) All ABHC member organizations are known to extend services to all residents, regardless of citizenship or status. Citizenship status is not of importance to most service organizations but language spoken and region of birth can help inform how and what services are provided. The ABHC recommends that member organizations collect specific data on primary language spoken and region of birth of residents served. These data can target and improve cultural competency of services provided.

Language Spoken at Home: Allston and Brighton largely mirror Boston in language spoken at home, the majority of residents speaking English. Allston does contain a larger percentage of Spanish speakers than Brighton, and Brighton has more Portuguese speakers than the Boston average. Chinese speakers in both Allston and Brighton top the Boston average and are a larger population than Portuguese speakers. While “other languages” are not specified, they are a significant minority of languages spoken in both Allston and Brighton, and may include Korean or Arabic. Noticeably absent from this list is sign language and Russian. Anecdotally, a large minority of district residents speaks Russian.

Many organizations within the Collaborative make a concerted effort to include non-English speakers in conversations and publications, however there are exceptions and limitations. Many community-held meetings occur only in English without translation, nor are notices translated from English. It is highly recommended that community meetings translate meeting bulletins and meeting minutes into multiple languages, and investigate ways of providing meeting translation to increase community participation.

School Enrollment: As indicated in other data sets, Allston and Brighton have low school enrollment rates for ages 0- 18. Brighton’s college attendance and general school enrollment is lower than Allston’s, most likely reflecting the higher percentage of college students living off-campus in Allston than in

10 Brighton. While the ABHC has multiple organizations that work with neighborhood youth, future Collaborative working groups may want to focus on those residents not enrolled in school, as they make up a larger portion of the district population. Alternatively, the ABHC may investigate the underlying causes of low enrollment and the issues surrounding low home- ownership and family occupancy in the district.

Geographic Mobility: The district exhibits a higher percentage of mobility than the Boston average. Fewer people live in the same home as a year previous, more people moved to the district from a different state, and more people moved from abroad. These data reflect the high incidence of college students, graduate and undergraduate, who live off-campus and also of young professionals living in the district but not staying to raise families or buy homes. Data such as these help inform ABHC organizations as they engage with residents and create attractive and enticing neighborhoods in which people want to stay. As noted above, a Collaborative working group may decide to investigate the root causes of high district mobility, and how to attract more permanent residents to increase neighborhood investment and cohesion.

Means of Commuting: Allston residents use alternative forms of commuting at a much higher rate than both Brighton and the city. With 25% of residents walking to work, over 35% using public transit, and nearly 4% biking, the vast majority of residents do not drive to work. Conversely, nearly half of Brighton residents drive. Efforts to increase alternative forms of commuting should focus on Brighton. The ABHC strongly advises the addition of a Hubway station near the Allston/Brighton neighborhood border, which can facilitate the expansion of the shared bike service into Brighton. The ABHC and its member organizations should also promote and highlight Allston as a positive example of alternative transport in the city.

Housing: In-person and online community forums and neighborhood association meetings consistently address the neighborhood concerns regarding housing safety and availability. The challenges surrounding housing in A/B remain unique in Boston, as the district is home to thousands of undergraduate and graduate students from Harvard, BC, and BU, which has attracted absentee landlord interest and investment. The majority of the district lives in non-family households. It

11 has significantly fewer houses with children under 18, and most housing units are rentals. These housing dynamics should inform the work of the ABHC when determining neighborhood health interests, concerns, and projects. While many children do live in Allston and Brighton, the majority of the district is likely not engaged with the district school system or youth programs. The minority of residents in family households suggests that the majority of residents are younger without children or elderly without children. Should housing availability and neighborhood quality of life become an interest of an ABHC working group, it is advised that the working group make a concerted effort to involve voices that represent three populations: residents in rental units, non-family households and residents for whom English is a second language.

Economy: Financial literacy and economic vitality for families is an important determinant of health. The district demonstrates statistical economic stability. Providing economic opportunities and education, particularly for new immigrants and young people, could improve health outcomes for Allston/Brighton. The ABHC advises that any Collaborative “economy” working group gather quantitative and qualitative data to inform specific trends of the economic health of the district and specific methods to improve outcomes. Data specific to Allston/Brighton racial and ethnic groups does not currently exist and would also greatly inform future efforts. Data collection could occur in the form of surveys, focus groups, and informational interviews with area banks.

12 Health Data

Various reports list key demographic data for A/B, (as defined by the BRA as a planning district, and by the Boston Public Health Commission [BPHC] as a neighborhood). While these district boundary lines sometimes differ and the data sets include college student populations, the health data presented offer a snapshot assessment of the health status of the district. The following data is sourced from the BPHC’s Health of Boston: A Neighborhood Focus 2012-2013.

OF NOTE: The following data represent the district of Allston/Brighton as a whole. Data of this type and detail does exist for Allston and Brighton as two independent neighborhoods. The Research and Evaluation Office (REO) of the BPHC has a number of data sets and data sources that include race/ethnicity, age, and gender. In addition to those variables, REO has available some data sets and data sources that include language, income, and other key variables that can inform the work of community public health practices and programs. The data sets are extensive and are not included in this overview report. Data does not exist for the Allston and Brighton neighborhoods with the college population excluded. American Community Survey data are estimates only and include a five-year estimate between 2007-2011. These estimates may not always correspond to 2010 Census counts.

14 Analysis and Discussion: According to the Health of Boston: A Neighborhood Focus 2012-2013, the Allston Brighton neighborhood seems to consistently have healthier health outcomes than the Boston average. While the district saw a 23% increase in emergency department visits for asthma for children under age 5 between 2005 and 2011, the average rate for 2005-2011 is still less than half the rate of the Boston average. (Yearly rates for other indicators are also available at the neighborhood level.) In 2010, Allston Brighton also had a lower percentage of obesity among resident 4 adults but regularly exercised at a rate similar to that of Boston residents overall .

The above data offer a snapshot of the health status of Allston/Brighton and should not be used in isolation to inform any programmatic efforts or interventions. Extensive health status data exist for neighborhood racial and ethnic groups, ages, languages, and incomes (as noted above). As the ABHC moves to form sub-committees, it is recommended that such data be accessed to inform the work of the sub-committees.

Collaborative member organizations serve all A/B residents in a variety of levels and capacities. District public health concerns have been discussed in member organization informational interviews. Concern expressed by multiple organizations include healthy food access, access to affordable family housing, access to services and resources in residents’ native language, and comprehensive elder services. In addition, some member organizations identify public transit as a strength in the district, while other site it as too unreliable for residents to be able to access services and resources.

4 Confidence intervals indicate that there is no statistical difference between the point estimate for Allston Brighton 62% (53.7-70.8) and that for Boston overall 57% (54.7-59.3). 15 2014 Allston/Brighton Community Assets

The Allston Brighton district provides a variety of resources to its nearly 80,000 residents. The community has five supermarkets, four farmers’ markets, seven community gardens, three public libraries, ten parks and eight Hubway bike stations. There is one community center, one Boys and Girls club, a YMCA, and a community health center. A complete list of member organizations is attached. A map of community assets, as well as the locations of member organizations, can be found at: bit.ly/ABHCMap

Collaborative member organizations identify a variety of district strengths: good public transit, a thriving business economy with high occupancy, and low rates of crime or violence. Organizations largely feel that there is a collaborative spirit and good relationships between organizations.

While the Health Collaborative works to improve the health outcomes of Allston/ Brighton, it remains essential that we work with and promote all of the essential and impressive services that already exist. These district assets make Allston/Brighton strong. It is the ongoing mission of the ABHC to collaborate with these resource institutions and ensure that residents have the knowledge of, access to, and trust in the resources.

16 Conclusion

The Allston/Brighton district remains unique in its assets and challenges. The health outcomes provided offer a snapshot of neighborhood health that is better than the Boston average, yet extensive data exist that will more thoroughly inform the conversation of neighborhood health indicators and outcomes. This report is to be used as one of many resources that will inform ABHC strategies and programming. The Collaborative is well positioned to address public health concerns and improve public health outcomes for Allston/Brighton.
