Introduction <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New York City is considered the biggest melting pot city in the world. With over 800 languages spoken in the city, this city is considered home to many. As someone who started to call New York home not until recently, it has always been fascinating to see how diverse the population is in the city. I believe this experience is shared by many. Learning about a new country from strangers who turned into friends simply by living here is an experience one can rarely find anywhere else. People from every continent and corner of the world are here in New York City. This report investigates the number of foreign-born people who live in the city and which borough is most populated by foreign-born residents. Below are the questions to answer through this report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Which borough is the most popular for foreign-born residents?<\/li>
  2. Where do most foreign-born residents come from? <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tools <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Social Explorer, Microsoft Excel, and Datawrapper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Methodologies <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To build the visualization, first, data are collected through Social Explorer. The data on Social Explorer is based on the American Community Survey 2020 with a 5-year estimate. The data exported from social explorer is imported into Excel to edit and clean. It\u2019s essential to relabel and group the data in Excel before exporting and importing it to Datawrapper. Using Datawrapper, an interactive area chart is created with the borough on the X-axis and the number of the population on the Y-axis. An interactive bar chart is also built with the region on the X-axis and the number of the population on the Y-axis. Columns on the bar chart can be switched with other boroughs by clicking on the tab above the bar chart. I chose the area chart for the visualization because it helps show categories’ proportions. The interactive feature to change the column by borough in the bar chart makes it easier to switch around when looking at multiple categories in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I find it intriguing that there are more census areas with higher foreign-born residents in Queens and Brooklyn compared to other boroughs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
