Abstract
This project was completed as part of the 2016-2017 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of Brooklyn Park. The city saw a pattern of home foreclosures occurring within reasonable walking distance of transit areas, but not in areas inaccessible by foot. To determine if there was a relationship between proximity to transit areas and foreclosure rates, Brooklyn Park partnered with students in Dr. Ying Song’s Urban GIS and Analysis class. The students used geographic information systems software (GIS) to see if there truly was a relationship between proximity and foreclosure. No correlation was found, and the pattern was suggested to be attributed to other various factors. The students’ final report, poster, and presentation are available.
