  • Identifying Urban Neighborhood Names Through User-Contributed Online Property Listings
    Article Identifying urban neighborhood names through user-contributed online property listings Grant McKenzie1, Zheng Liu2, Yingjie Hu3, and Myeong Lee2 1 McGill University, Montréal, Canada; 2 University of Maryland, College Park, USA; 3 University at Buffalo, Buffalo, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Version September 22, 2018 submitted to ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 1 Abstract: Neighborhoods are vaguely defined, localized regions that share similar characteristics. 2 They are most often defined, delineated, and named by the citizens that inhabit them rather than 3 municipal government or commercial agencies. The names of these neighborhoods play an important 4 role as a basis for community and sociodemographic identity, geographic communication, and 5 historical context. In this work we take a data-driven approach to identifying neighborhood names 6 based on the geospatial properties of user-contributed rental listings. Through a random forest 7 ensemble learning model applied to a set of spatial statistics for all n-grams in listing descriptions, 8 we show that neighborhood names can be uniquely identified within urban settings. We train a 9 model based on data from Washington, DC and test it on listings in Seattle, WA and Montréal, QC. 10 The results indicate that a model trained on housing data from one city can successfully identify 11 neighborhood names in another. In addition, our approach identifies less common neighborhood 12 names and suggestions alternative or potentially new names in each city. These findings represent a 13 first step in the process of urban neighborhood identification and delineation. 14 Keywords: neighborhood; neighborhood name; random forest; spatial statistics; housing; craigslist 15 PRE-PRINT 16 1.
