About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Jamestown population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Jamestown across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Jamestown was 27,965, a 0.49% decrease year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Jamestown population was 28,102, a decline of 1.24% compared to a population of 28,454 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Jamestown decreased by 3,972. In this period, the peak population was 31,937 in the year 2000. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

My ArcGIS StoryMap is centered around The Green Book, an annual travel guide that allowed African Americans to travel safely during the height of the Jim Crow Era in the United States. More specifically, The Green Book listed establishments, such as hotels and restaurants, that would openly accept and welcome black customers into their businesses. As someone who is interested in the intersection between STEM and the humanities, I wanted to utilize The Science of Where to formulate a project that would reveal important historical implications to the public. Therefore, my overarching goal was to map each location in The Green Book in order to draw significant conclusions regarding racial segregation in one of the largest cities in the entire world.Although a more detailed methodology of my work can be found in the project itself, the following is a step by step walkthrough of my overall scientific process:Develop a question in relation to The Green Book to be solved through the completion of the project.Perform background research on The Green Book to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the subject matter.Formulate a hypothesis that answers the proposed question based on the background research.Transcribe names and addresses for each of the hotel listings in The Green Book into a comma separated values file.Transcribe names and addresses for each of the restaurants listings in The Green Book into a comma separated values file.Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for the 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1966 publications of The Green Book. In total, there should be eight unique database files (1940 New York City Hotels, 1940 New York City Restaurants, 1950 New York City Hotels, 1950 New York City Restaurants, 1960 New York City Hotels, 1960 New York City Restaurants, 1966 New York City Hotels, and 1966 New York City Restaurants.)Construct an address locator that references a New York City street base map to plot the information from the databases in Step 6 as points on a map.Manually plot locations that the address locator did not automatically match on the map.Repeat Steps 7 and 8 for all eight database files.Find and match the point locations for each listing in The Green Book with historical photographs.Generate a map tour using the geotagged images for each point from Step 10.Create a point density heat map for the locations in all eight database files.Research and obtain professional and historically accurate racial demographic data for New York City during the same time period as when The Green Book was published.Generate a hot spot map of the black population percentage using the demographic data.Analyze any geospatial trends between the point density heat maps for The Green Book and the black population percentage hot spot maps from the demographic data.Research and obtain professional and historically accurate redlining data for New York City during the same time period as when The Green Book was published.Overlay the points from The Green Book listings from Step 9 on top of the redlining shapefile.Count the number of point features completely located within each redlining zone ranking utilizing the spatial join tool.Plot the data recorded from Step 18 in the form of graphs.Analyze any geospatial trends between the listings for The Green Book and its location relative to the redlining ranking zones.Draw conclusions from the analyses in Steps 15 and 20 to present a justifiable rationale for the results._Student Generated Maps:New York City Pin Location Maphttps://arcg.is/15i4nj1940 New York City Hotels Maphttps://arcg.is/WuXeq1940 New York City Restaurants Maphttps://arcg.is/L4aqq1950 New York City Hotels Maphttps://arcg.is/1CvTGj1950 New York City Restaurants Maphttps://arcg.is/0iSG4r1960 New York City Hotels Maphttps://arcg.is/1DOzeT1960 New York City Restaurants Maphttps://arcg.is/1rWKTj1966 New York City Hotels Maphttps://arcg.is/4PjOK1966 New York City Restaurants Maphttps://arcg.is/1zyDTv11930s Manhattan Black Population Percentage Enumeration District Maphttps://arcg.is/1rKSzz1930s Manhattan Black Population Percentage Hot Spot Map (Same as Previous)https://arcg.is/1rKSzz1940 Hotels Point Density Heat Maphttps://arcg.is/jD1Ki1940 Restaurants Point Density Heat Maphttps://arcg.is/1aKbTS1940 Hotels Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/8b10y1940 Restaurants Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/9WrXv1950 Hotels Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/ruGiP1950 Restaurants Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/0qzfvC01960 Hotels Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/1KTHLK01960 Restaurants Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/0jiu9q1966 Hotels Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/PXKn41966 Restaurants Redlining Maphttps://arcg.is/uCD05_Bibliography:Image Credits (In Order of Appearance)Header/Thumbnail Image:Student Generated Collage (Created Using Pictures from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division, The New York Public Library, https://digitalcollections.nypl.org/collections/the-green-book#/?tab=about.)Mob Violence Image:Kelley, Robert W. “A Mob Rocks an out of State Car Passing.” Life Magazine, www.life.com/history/school-integration-clinton-history, The Green Book Example Image:Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division, The New York Public Library Digital Collections, https://images.nypl.org/index.php?id=5207583&t=w. 1940s Borough of Manhattan Hotels and Restaurants Photographs:“Manhattan 1940s Tax Photos.” NYC Municipal Archives Collections, The New York City Department of Records & Information Services, https://nycma.lunaimaging.com/luna/servlet/NYCMA~5~5?cic=NYCMA~5~5.Figure 1:Student Generated GraphFigure 2:Student Generated GraphFigure 3:Student Generated GraphGIS DataThe Green Book Database:Student Generated (See Above)The Green Book Listings Maps:Student Generated (See Above)The Green Book Point Density Heat Maps:Student Generated (See Above)The Green Book Road Trip Map:Student GeneratedLION New York City Single Line Street Base Map:https://www1.nyc.gov/site/planning/data-maps/open-data/dwn-lion.page 1930s Manhattan Census Data:https://s4.ad.brown.edu/Projects/UTP2/ncities.htm Mapping Inequality Redlining Data:https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining/#loc=12/40.794/-74.072&city=manhattan-ny&text=downloads 1940 The Green Book Document:Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division, The New York Public Library.

In 2020, about 82.66 percent of the total population in the United States lived in cities and urban areas. As the United States was one of the earliest nations to industrialize, it has had a comparatively high rate of urbanization over the past two centuries. The urban population became larger than the rural population during the 1910s, and by the middle of the century it is expected that almost 90 percent of the population will live in an urban setting. Regional development of urbanization in the U.S. The United States began to urbanize on a larger scale in the 1830s, as technological advancements reduced the labor demand in agriculture, and as European migration began to rise. One major difference between early urbanization in the U.S. and other industrializing economies, such as the UK or Germany, was population distribution. Throughout the 1800s, the Northeastern U.S. became the most industrious and urban region of the country, as this was the main point of arrival for migrants. Disparities in industrialization and urbanization was a key contributor to the Union's victory in the Civil War, not only due to population sizes, but also through production capabilities and transport infrastructure. The Northeast's population reached an urban majority in the 1870s, whereas this did not occur in the South until the 1950s. As more people moved westward in the late 1800s, not only did their population growth increase, but the share of the urban population also rose, with an urban majority established in both the West and Midwest regions in the 1910s. The West would eventually become the most urbanized region in the 1960s, and over 90 percent of the West's population is urbanized today. Urbanization today New York City is the most populous city in the United States, with a population of 8.3 million, while California has the largest urban population of any state. California also has the highest urbanization rate, although the District of Columbia is considered 100 percent urban. Only four U.S. states still have a rural majority, these are Maine, Mississippi, Montana, and West Virginia.

New York City besaß Schätzungen zufolge im Jahr 2022 rund 8,3 Millionen Einwohner. Damit ist der "Big Apple" gegenüber 2020 etwas geschrumpft. Die Einwohnerzahl ist jedoch seit 1750 nahezu kontinuierlich gestiegen - mit Ausnahme der 1960er- und 1980er- Jahre, als die Bevölkerungszahl vorübergehend sogar deutlich sank. Grund dafür war insbesondere eine starke Steigerung der Kriminalität, die erst durch politische und polizeiliche Maßnahmen ab Anfang der 90er- Jahre wieder gesenkt werden konnte. Dies führte - gemeinsam mit der Ansiedlung neuer Unternehmen - zu einem Zuzug weiterer Bürger, die zum Wachstum der Stadt beitrugen. Gründung der Stadt und Entwicklung bis 1800 New York City wurde als niederländische Kolonie im Jahr 1624 gegründet und bekam den Namen Nieuw Amsterdam. 1664 wurde die Stadt der britischen Marine kampflos eingenommen und bekam den Namen New York. Das 18. Jahrhundert war für die Stadt von erstem Wachstum geprägt, 1750 zählte die Stadt am Hudson River bereits 22.000 Einwohner, zur Jahrhundertwende waren es bereits mehr als 60.000. Geschichte der Stadt seit 1800 Ab dem 19. Jahrhundert beschleunigte sich das Wachstum: Ein neues Straßennetz, die Fertigstellung des Eriekanals (eine Verbindung zu den Großen Seen) und die Verbindung der heutigen Stadtbezirke Manhattan, Brooklyn, Richmond (Staten Island), Queens und der Bronx führten gemeinsam mit starken Zuwanderungszahlen aus den USA, Europa und Asien zu einem rasanten Wachstum: Um 1900 zählte die Stadt bereits deutlich mehr als drei Millionen Einwohner - im Jahr 1895 war New York City bereits die zweitgrößte Stadt der Welt.Weitere Informationen zu historischen Themen finden Sie hier.
