Study Uses 311 Complaints to Track When and Where Neighborhood Conflict Emerges

Caption

This map illustrates how edge-detection algorithms were used to determine the intensity of boundaries between areas in Crown Heights South, Brooklyn, where white residents occupy an area of 24 city blocks, surrounded largely by African-American residents. The boundaries are well defined on the west side of the primarily white area, but the edges are "fuzzy" on the northeast side, where boundaries between the white and African-American communities are not well defined.
