City of Boston. 2020 block-level projection file was joined with the Public Law 94-171 data and the block boundaries. Similarly, the 2010 boundary shapefile was joined with the PL 94-171 data. Columns were named for ease of use. Data was queried to the City of Boston and for the desired fields of interest. The block assignment file (BAF) provided by Boston was used to aggregate 2020 data to council districts. The maup assign function was used to aggregate 2010 data to council district shapefile. Percent change calculations were performed by subtracting the 2010 value from the 2020 value for a given column, then dividing that difference by the 2010 value, then multiplied by 100. For example, if a council district has 100 people in 2010 and 140 in 2020, that would be 140-100=40/100=0.4*100=40% increase. The data was extracted as a shapefile and CSV. All processing was completed using the [maup](https://github.com/mggg/maup), geopandas, and pandas libraries in Python. ## Additional Notes Please see the Redistricting Data Hub GitHub for more info on this request here[https://github.com/nonpartisan-redistricting-datahub/Processing-Requests/tree/main/Boston_Precincts_CouncilDistricts] Please contact info@redistrictingdatahub.org for more information.
