The Boston Neighborhood Change Explorer is a tool for people to visualize some of the ways that Boston and its neighborhoods have changed from 1950 to the present. Users can create custom geographic areas of interest based on census tracts or neighborhoods and move through time using interactive controls in order to explore topics like total population, age distribution, race & ethnicity, nativity, housing occupancy & tenure, educational attainment, and labor force participation.
