A Theory of Vacancy in Downtown

When walking through the streets of downtown Saint Paul we are faced with an eerie sight. Vacant store fronts and empty streets. This may be the scene in some parts of Saint Paul but to describe the entirety of it in such a way is reductive at best. Its a big place, there are lots of different sub-cultures and economies. In this series of data analytics I hope to explore the data of the economies throughout Saint Paul in an effort to better understand the driving factors and effects in our local economies.
