Residential Segregation and the Urban Demographic Shift of Pedestrian and Bicyclist Collisions

This project addresses the concerning increase in bicycle and pedestrian fatalities, particularly focusing on the disparities experienced by people of color (POC) in these incidents. It builds upon existing literature suggesting links between race/ethnicity and collision rates, aiming to investigate whether such disparities persist even after controlling for other factors like income and neighborhood characteristics. Data collection includes literature review, demographic data on residential segregation, police enforcement data, and pedestrian and bicyclist crash data from multiple states. Spatial analysis and spatiotemporal statistics will identify emerging hotspots of injury risk and shifts over time or space.
