Community woodlands, green roofs, street trees, parks and gardens all make up what are known as green spaces. This study sought to explore whether there is a correlation between socioeconomic status and the availability of green spaces in New York City.
Neighborhoods with higher incomes such as the Upper East and West sides have access to large green spaces, while areas like Jackson Heights lack immediate access to them. The results of this study have important implications for society as we continue to fight economic segregation in NYC.

What a great poster! My group did a study on the correlation between median income and presence of iNaturalist superusers. I wonder how our results would change if controlled for your greenspace data!
