Demographic Data for Boston’s Neighborhoods, 1950-2019

Boston is a city defined by the unique character of its many neighborhoods. The historical tables created by the BPDA Research Division from U.S. Census Decennial data describe demographic changes in Boston’s neighborhoods from 1950 through 2010 using consistent tract-based geographies. For more analysis of these data, please see Historical Trends in Boston's Neighborhoods. The most recent available neighborhood demographic data come from the 5-year American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS tables also present demographic data for Census-tract approximations of Boston’s neighborhoods. For pdf versions of the data presented here plus earlier versions of the analysis, please see Boston in Context.

In 2023, about ******* people in Massachusetts were of Hispanic or Latino origin. Furthermore, there were about **** million white people and ******* Asian people living in Massachusetts in that year.

The BPDA Research Division prepared Census data on total population, population by race and ethnicity, voting-age population, group quarters populations, and housing occupancy for use in the 2022 City Council redistricting process. These data reflect 2020 census block-level data from the 2020 Decennial Census P.L. 94-171 Redistricting Data aggregated to the 275 precincts (as amended April 6, 2022) and the 9 current City Council Districts. Also included are 2010 estimates for these geographies based on 2010 census block-level.

Notes on coding of Race and Ethnicity:

The data presented here follow the conventions recommended by the Department of Justice in their September 1, 2021 guidance on the use of race and ethnicity data in redistricting. This differs from other commonly reported race and ethnicity groupings in that it groups those reporting 2 races, one White and one non-White, as being members of the non-White race reported. Thus a person reporting White and Black would be categorized here as Black. All residents of Hispanic or Latino origin, regardless of reported race, are grouped together. This coding appears on page 12 of the guidance that can be found here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1429486/download

Notes on 2010 data:

For 2010 data the BPDA Research Division crosswalked 2010 census block data to 2020 boundaries using a combination of block assignment and areal interpolation based on Census Tiger shapefiles and the publicly available boundary files for Boston electoral geographies. For blocks split across 2020 boundaries the entire 2010 population was assigned to one side of the boundary if no residential structures within that block existed on the other side of the boundary. In cases where residential structures were present on both sides of the boundary, areal interpolation was used to assign the block's population and housing units based on the share of the land area of the block falling on either side of the boundary. These numbers will differ from those produced using different crosswalking methods.

Abstract (en): This study was a joint project of ten major United States cities participating in the Urban Observatory Program: Atlanta, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Boston, Denver, Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri, Milwaukee, Nashville, and San Diego. The survey focused on citizens' perceptions of the problems of urban life. Citizens' attitudes toward local government services and their opinions about local problems in the areas of schooling, housing, public transportation, controlled drugs, law and order, and taxes were assessed in all ten cities. Information on the socioeconomic status of the respondents, and on household composition was also elicited. Demographic data include sex, age, marital status, race, ethnicity, birthplace, level of education, and family income. Each city may be analyzed separately or may be treated as an integral part of the comparative study. ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Standardized missing values.; Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.. Adult populations of Atlanta, Albuquerque, Baltimore, Boston, Denver, Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas City, Missouri, Milwaukee, Nashville, and San Diego. An independent sample was drawn from each of the cities included in the study. The samples were designed to represent a cross-section of all households within the politically-defined limits of each central city. They were drawn from the cities' directories and corrections were made with block supplements. Each household in a given city had an equal probability for selection. Within selected households, one adult was designated as respondent and no substitutions were permitted. The samples are not representative of the total United States population living in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.
