Density of Residential Development in Queens, NY
What neighborhoods in Queens saw the highest rates of residential development from 2003 - 2013?
By mapping the MapPLUTO dataset, isolating residential units within the given timeframe, comparing kernel density maps with different parameters, mapping the density of these units by neighborhood tabulation area, calculating the density of new residential properties and units per acre by NTA, and analyzing several kernel density calculations, I found that Old Astoria had the highest rate of new residential developments. The highest density of new residential developments was in Hunters Point-Sunnyside-West Maspeth and the lowest density of new residential developments was in Cambria Heights.
