Today, I examined the second sheet, “Back Bay,” in the Excel file available at https://data.boston.gov/dataset/neighborhood-demographics. The dataset on Back Bay offers valuable insights into the neighborhood’s evolution across different decades, enabling a comprehensive analysis of various demographic aspects. Notable patterns include population fluctuations, showing a decline until 1990 followed by relative stability. The age distribution highlights shifts in the percentage of residents across different age groups, particularly a substantial increase in the 20-34 age bracket from 32% in 1950 to 54% in 1980. Educational attainment data displays changing proportions of individuals with varying levels of education, notably showcasing a significant rise in those with a Bachelor’s Degree or Higher from 20% in 1950 to 81% in 2010. Nativity data reveals fluctuations in the percentage of foreign-born residents, while the race/ethnicity distribution indicates a decrease in the white population and a rise in the Asian/PI category. Labor force participation demonstrates gender-based variations, and housing tenure data underscores changes in the ratio of owner-occupied to renter-occupied units. Overall, this dataset provides a nuanced understanding of the socio-demographic landscape in Back Bay over the decades.
