    Anteil gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare nach Zensusgebiet für ausgewählte Städte

    Visualisierung der Wohnorte gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare in US-Städten mithilfe von Census ACS 2023-Daten auf Bezirksebene. In jedem Bezirk leben etwa 4.000 Einwohner.

    Die Daten stammen aus den 5-Jahres-Schätzungen des American Community Survey für 2023 aus Tabelle B09019 (Haushaltstyp einschließlich Beziehung), wobei die Prozentsätze im Choropleth wie folgt berechnet wurden

    proportion = (same sex spouse + same sex unmarried)/(opposite sex spouse + opposite sex unmarried + same sex spouse + same sex unmarried)

    Karte von mir mit Python, GeoPandas und Matplotlib.

    Einige Anmerkungen:

    1. Zählbezirke mit weniger als 100 anwesenden Paaren sind ausgegraut.
    2. Zur besseren Vergleichbarkeit ist die Farbskala auf 20 % begrenzt.
    3. Obwohl die American Community Survey umfangreich ist, deckt sie nicht jeden Haushalt ab. In einigen Gebieten, die mit 0,0 % gekennzeichnet sind, wurden möglicherweise nur wenige Paare befragt, die alle unterschiedlichen Geschlechts waren. Beispielsweise weist Fire Island in diesem Datensatz eine Quote gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare von 0 % auf.
    4. Viele Karten wurden zugeschnitten, um nur den Teil der Stadt mit besonders hohen Konzentrationen gleichgeschlechtlicher Paare zu untersuchen: Meistens ergibt das Herauszoomen eine Karte, die der Karte der Bay Area ähnelt, wo es in den meisten umliegenden Vororten relativ wenige gleichgeschlechtliche Paare gibt.
    5. Diese Daten untersuchen nur Paare. Mit ziemlicher Sicherheit gibt es Stadtteile, die stark durch die sexuelle Orientierung ihrer Bewohner definiert sind und in denen auf dieser Karte kein besonders hoher Anteil an gleichgeschlechtlichen Paaren zu finden ist. Dies ist jedoch schwieriger abzubilden, da die American Community Survey keine Daten zur sexuellen Orientierung sammelt.

      A decently strong correlation here to real estate prices, though I do see some exceptions. Excellent visualization of data.

      I love these cloropleth maps because I can quiz myself on which city it is without reading the title first.

      It would be interesting to see a gender breakdown of these maps. Historically, gay men have been the main inhabitants of gayborhoods in big cities while lesbians tended to live in smaller cities, especially college towns.

      I guess the big question in an all-transgender household/flat is…who gets to be the father figure?

      The Miami area shows a 30% block right beside a 0% block. What possible explanation is there for that difference?

    11. ManitouWakinyan on

      The DC map at least looks very much like how a map of gentrification would look

    12. milionsdeadlandlords on

      Multnomah County, Oregon (Portland) usually ranks as one of the gayest counties so I wonder what it would look like

      This might just be a European perspective, but I find it slightly surreal that this data is publicly accessible to this level of granularity, and slightly concerning given the US’s culture war rn. It’s cool to see though, and well presented.

    15. ItsJustForMyOwnKicks on

      Love the map as I would happily move into a neighborhood with high levels of gay couples.

    17. Emperor_TJ on

      Do gay people have money or something? These seem like really expensive neighborhoods

    19. GonePostalRoute on

      Ah, America is not so bad. They even named a street after me in San Francisco…

      *whisper whisper whisper*

      IT’S FULL OF WHAT!?!

      As a gay SLC resident my condolences to the same sex couples in Provo 🙏

    21. geoRgLeoGraff on

      Why are gays concentrated in Upper West Side? Why not Upper East? I know it’s expensive but everything is expensive in Mannhattan. Is there a historical reason for this? I personally haven’t seen many gays in UWS but I did see quite a few in Garment district. Is it like a founder effect or sth? I personally love Upper Eeast but since it’s not gay friendly I’ll reconsider 😄

      Nice visualisation of data in general, but I think that the bar on the right be higher than 20% since there are some districts with like 30 or 35%.

    23. Duc_de_Magenta on

      Wow… really goes to show how/why same-sex are so heavily over-represented in corporate media, pop-culture, & government policy. If you live in a place where 1/3 of your neighbors are some flavour of gay, it only makes sense that you’d cater to that market- especially when that market is also disproportionately wealthy.

      *line from Salt Like City, the straights are surrounding us, we’re scattered, we’re not coordinated, SOMEONE SEND THE REINFORCEMENTS!, GOD SAVE THE QUEER! I REPEAT GOD SAVE THE QUEER!*

      Birds of a feather. Curious how the word gets out… oh we are moving to this neighborhood etc. Or how neighborhoods tend to do this at all for anyone. Just being curious.

      Great explanation of how it was made too.

    29. VectorRaptor on

      How does the survey define „Same-Sex“ where trans and non-binary people are concerned?

    32. waterofbrokilon on

      This is so interesting! If you have time, I would love to see Minneapolis/St Paul!

    33. NovembersRime on

      So… do Americans just basically go „watch out for Athens Boulevard. That’s where all the *gaehs* in town live.“

    35. OrlandoMan1 on

      I was literally looking this up 3 seconds ago and now I see this on reddit :“)

    36. EC_dwtn on

      Is this comparing same sex married couples to straight married couples, or is there another definition of couple being used?

      Looking at the DC map there are some of these that would only make sense if there is a super low number of married straight couples.

    37. omgwtflolnsa on

      Hey I think the First Baptist Church has this map too, but the color scale is inverted

    38. Glittering-Rip-295 on

      Oh my god…in the first map there is an area with 9% of gay couples…they are TAKING OVER and turning everyone gay!

    39. sentimentalpirate on

      Please I beg everyone. If you are showing a single metric of varying intensity, just use a single color of varying intensity.

      You should only have two colors if the data represents two metrics. For example it makes sense for two-party politics, dog vs cat ownership, etc.
