Unpacking the Tenderloin:
Reality vs. Reputation
2022 / Data Visualization
A group project created for my Intro to Data Journalism class. This project is an outline of a proposed data journalism story comparing the data behind San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood with its extreme reputation.
The Tenderloin has a long-standing and extreme reputation as an underserved, underdeveloped and often unsafe area. We aimed to uncover whether some of the statistics depicting the area—from crime rates to public works funding—match up with the dismal picture painted in the public eye. We collected and analyzed data from datasets online to create the visualizations below, using Flourish and Carto.
