Racial Change in the Hartford Region, 1900-2010:There were savreel things which stood out to me from this map. In 2010, the white population in Hartford was no more than 40% in central areas around the city (Such as Parkville, and Clay Arsenal). There is a drastic increase in the white population, as we veer over to the west side of the city. On the Hartford/West Hartford town-line (Prospect ave.) the White population is above 60 % in some cases reaching 98% as can be seen in the area around Elizabeth Park and Fern street.In 1970, the majority of people of color lived in the North End of Hartford (north of Homestead ave.) Currently, there is still a large population of African Americans and People of West Indian Descent living in the north end, and more people of Hispanic and/or Latin American (non-white) descent living on the south end of Hartford. I found it particularly interesting that between 1970 and 1990, more and more ?non-white? people began to move into central parts of the city, extending way out of the north end, and the white population was pushed out to either the far west of the city (West Hartford) or the far east of the city (East Hartford).School District Boundary Comparison Viewer:In the next map I reviewed, I focused on comparing the Hartford School district (schools only in Hartford) to the Bridgeport School District (schools in Bridgeport and New Haven.) The Hartford school district covers about 19 sq. Mi and includes 36 schools (elementary-high school). The Bridgeport School district in total covers about 20 sq. mi and also includes 36 schools. The Bridgeport school district has on average 19, 853 students enrolled. The Hartford Public School district is comprised of about 20, 161 students. According to SchoolDigger.com, The Hartford School district ranks 157th of 165 districts in Connecticut. Bridgeport ranks 161st. Hartford is ranked 25th in elementary schools, 2nd in middle schools and 8th in High Schools. Bridgeport is ranked 26th in Elementary schools and 3rd in high schools (no information provided on Middle schools.)One important issue I hope to have addressed in this course is the correlation between poverty level and school achievement. In Bridgeport, 18.4% of people are living below the poverty line. In Hartford, 30.6% of people are living below the poverty line, yet Hartford?s school system seems to be doing better than Bridgeport?s school system.
