This assignment analyzed the urban density of the San Francisco region. Specifically, I looked at the SF Metro Division of the San Francisco – Oakland Metropolitan Statistical Area and compared the population and density between 1980, 2000, and 2020. This study areas included Redwood City, San Mateo, San Bruno, Daly City, and San Francisco.
The assignment went into a further analysis of two specific neighborhoods: Mission Bay and Foster City. The assignment had requested an analysis of one neighborhood each with declining and increasing population, but it was difficult to find a neighborhood in which the population decreased between 1980 and 2020!
