RPA Lab

Map Monday: Anchor Institutions in the NY Region

by Alex Moscovitz

share

In the New York region, we have a rich array of anchor institutions, from very old universities and hospitals like Yale and Mount Sinai to community colleges and smaller health systems. These institutions are important, well-established presences in their communities.

Traditionally we rely on government and developers to drive the investment and infrastructure of places, but these institutions can play a greater role, serving as potential partners for community development.

This map highlights the region’s colleges, universities and hospitals and the race and poverty landscape of their surrounding neighborhoods.

Data Source: HRSA Data Warehouse, 2010-2014 American Community Survey 5-year estimates.

Note: The percent white, non-Hispanic categories are categorized as: ​“Mostly white” – more than 75%; ​“Mixed” – 25-75%; ​“Mostly nonwhite” – less than 25%. The percent of population living below poverty level is categorized as: ​“Low” – less than 10%; ​“Medium” – 10-20%; ​“High” – more than 20%.
