These data are from the 2014-2018 American Community Survey (ACS). Neighborhood boundaries are based on a combination of census tracts, zip codes and zoning districts. For Decennial Census data analyses, neighborhoods can be defined by Census Blocks, the smallest available geography. However, this report uses ACS data that are only available at the Block Group and Census Tract level. When Census Tracts are split by Neighborhood boundaries, the Census Tract is assigned to the Neighborhood where the higher concentration of residents lived at the Block level in the 2010 Decennial Census. Because they cannot be separately identified at the Census Tract level, the neighborhoods of Chinatown, Leather District, and Downtown are combined into “Downtown” for all ACS analyses. The same is done with the South End and Bay Village. The consolidated neighborhood is called “South End” for all ACS analyses. Lastly, Census Tract 9815.02 is partially in East Boston and partially in Revere. The Census Bureau counts the entire population of the Tract as residing in Revere, and we follow that guidance in omitting them from the Neighborhood- level analyses. 4 Total Median 65 years and 0-9 years % 10-19 years % 20-34 years % 35-54 years % 55-64 years % % Population Age over United States 322,903,030 38 40,148,344 12.4% 42,021,645 13.0% 66,854,946 20.7% 83,352,783 25.8% 41,286,731 12.8% 49,238,581 15.2% Massachusetts 6,830,193 39 732,071 10.7% 856,838 12.5% 1,456,131 21.3% 1,791,482 26.2% 915,447 13.4% 1,078,224 15.8% Boston 679,413 32 64,052 9.4% 76,397 11.2% 236,455 34.8% 158,624 23.3% 67,765 10.0% 76,120 11.2% Allston 19,627 26 525 2.7% 2,680 13.7% 13,513 68.8% 1,692 8.6% 689 3.5% 528 2.7% Back Bay 17,902 34 708 4.0% 1,543 8.6% 7,312 40.8% 3,851 21.5% 1,945 10.9% 2,543 14.2% Beacon Hill 9,422 33 651 6.9% 285 3.0% 4,504 47.8% 1,940 20.6% 882 9.4% 1,160 12.3% Brighton 54,669 29 3,073 5.6% 3,271 6.0% 29,325 53.6% 9,666 17.7% 3,090 5.7% 6,244 11.4% Charlestown 19,414 35 2,708 13.9% 1,246 6.4% 5,711 29.4% 5,465 28.1% 2,335 12.0% 1,949 10.0% Dorchester 126,466 33 15,190 12.0% 16,284 12.9% 35,875 28.4% 31,845 25.2% 13,023 10.3% 14,249 11.3% Downtown 18,252 34 972 5.3% 2,753 15.1% 5,911 32.4% 3,785 20.7% 2,120 11.6% 2,711 14.9% East Boston 46,927 34 5,667 12.1% 4,958 10.6% 14,192 30.2% 13,573 28.9% 4,313 9.2% 4,224 9.0% Fenway 33,111 23 785 2.4% 8,806 26.6% 17,510 52.9% 3,297 10.0% 1,254 3.8% 1,459 4.4% Harbor Islands 405 47 0 0.0% 1 0.2% 75 18.5% 263 64.9% 58 14.3% 8 2.0% Hyde Park 38,117 39 4,307 11.3% 4,542 11.9% 8,174 21.4% 10,207 26.8% 5,458 14.3% 5,429 14.2% Jamaica Plain 40,566 35 4,372 10.8% 3,063 7.6% 13,135 32.4% 10,759 26.5% 4,770 11.8% 4,467 11.0% Longwood 5,500 20 82 1.5% 2,666 48.5% 2,540 46.2% 153 2.8% 38 0.7% 21 0.4% Mattapan 26,170 37 3,304 12.6% 3,259 12.5% 5,745 22.0% 7,612 29.1% 3,067 11.7% 3,183 12.2% Mission Hill 17,102 27 926 5.4% 2,142 12.5% 8,349 48.8% 2,406 14.1% 1,331 7.8% 1,948 11.4% North End 9,351 31 266 2.8% 222 2.4% 5,445 58.2% 1,578 16.9% 712 7.6% 1,128 12.1% Roslindale 29,582 39 3,291 11.1% 2,941 9.9% 6,586 22.3% 8,881 30.0% 4,089 13.8% 3,794 12.8% Roxbury 53,855 31 6,745 12.5% 8,417 15.6% 14,735 27.4% 12,493 23.2% 5,511 10.2% 5,954 11.1% South Boston 35,984 32 3,039 8.4% 2,025 5.6% 16,228 45.1% 8,083 22.5% 3,459 9.6% 3,150 8.8% South Boston Waterfront 3,836 34 141 3.7% 93 2.4% 1,773 46.2% 1,123 29.3% 403 10.5% 303 7.9% South End 32,347 36 2,526 7.8% 1,713 5.3% 11,282 34.9% 8,472 26.2% 3,806 11.8% 4,548 14.1% West End 6,471 36 369 5.7% 279 4.3% 2,437 37.7% 1,862 28.8% 645 10.0% 879 13.6% West Roxbury 34,270 43 4,405 12.9% 3,193 9.3% 6,068 17.7% 9,618 28.1% 4,745 13.8% 6,241 18.2% Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2014-2018 American Community Survey, BPDA Research Division Analysis Universe: Total Population 5 Total Housing Units Total Occupied % of Total Housing Units Owner Occupied % of Occupied Units Renter Occupied % of Occupied Units United States 136,384,292 119,730,128 87.8% 76,444,810 63.8% 43,285,318 36.2% Massachusetts 2,882,739 2,601,914 90.3% 1,621,053 62.3% 980,861 37.7% Boston 289,763 266,724 92.0% 93,800 35.2% 172,924 64.8% Allston 6,994 6,489 92.8% 694 10.7% 5,795 89.3% Back Bay 11,992 9,842 82.1% 3,132 31.8% 6,710 68.2% Beacon Hill 6,077 5,325 87.6% 1,783 33.5% 3,542 66.5% Brighton 23,456 22,380 95.4% 5,356 23.9% 17,024 76.1% Charlestown 9,536 9,050 94.9% 4,175 46.1% 4,875 53.9% Dorchester 48,058 43,903 91.4% 15,537 35.4% 28,366 64.6% Downtown 9,847 7,888 80.1% 2,285 29.0% 5,603 71.0% East Boston 17,568 16,399 93.3% 4,514 27.5% 11,885 72.5% Fenway 12,463 10,993 88.2% 1,188 10.8% 9,805 89.2% Harbor Islands 0 0 0.0% 0 0.0% 0 0.0% Hyde Park 13,649 13,103 96.0% 7,973 60.8% 5,130 39.2% Jamaica Plain 16,960 16,294 96.1% 7,414 45.5% 8,880 54.5% Longwood 302 297 98.3% 38 12.8% 259 87.2% Mattapan 9,746 9,006 92.4% 3,367 37.4% 5,639 62.6% Mission Hill 6,841 6,542 95.6% 654 10.0% 5,888 90.0% North End 5,901 5,326 90.3% 1,525 28.6% 3,801 71.4% Roslindale 12,043 11,523 95.7% 6,439 55.9% 5,084 44.1% Roxbury 21,340 19,754 92.6% 4,225 21.4% 15,529 78.6% South Boston 17,899 16,577 92.6% 6,800 41.0% 9,777 59.0% South Boston Waterfront 2,766 2,216 80.1% 733 33.1% 1,483 66.9% South End 17,936 16,606 92.6% 6,413 38.6% 10,193 61.4% West End 3,838 3,348 87.2% 737 22.0% 2,611 78.0% West Roxbury 14,539 13,851 95.3% 8,818 63.7% 5,033 36.3% Source: U.S.

  • 495/Metrowest Profile Prepared for the 495/Metrowest Suburban Edge Community Commission
    495/MetroWest Profile Prepared for the 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission The 495/ MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission was established by the Legislature in Section 233 of Chapter 119 of the Session Laws of 2015. The commission will study development challenges experienced by edge communities, including transportation, water, cellular, and energy infrastructure, transit services, residential development, reuse of former industrial facilities and historic mills, brownfields reclamation, downtown redevelopment and other such constraints. The commission will then develop policy responses and recommendations to ensure that edge communities can participate in state development initiatives and benefit from state resources. The commission will focus its investigation and study on the 35 municipalities served by the 495/MetroWest Corridor Partnership, Inc. and develop a pilot program to address the issues to be studied and investigated by the commission. Our Mission The mission of the Public Policy Center (PPC) at UMass Dartmouth is to: Inform evidence-based policy making. Improve public understanding of critical policy issues. Provide educational and research opportunities to our faculty and students. Connect the resources of the University of Massachusetts to the communities we serve. The PPC's primary goal is to inform public policy discussions by providing policy makers with university quality research, technical assistance, and analytical services designed to help make our state, region, and communities better places to live, work, and do business. We do this by leveraging the substantial skills of our students and faculty partners, and enhancing the connections between the University and the communities it serves.
