The freedom of relocation?
Looking at Immigrants in Providence and their settlement patterns

In our group we created various maps differing in subject matter according to our different interests in immigration. We looked at census data and made maps with this data such as  maps that showed things like progression of Spanish speaking students in Providence schools, Where Latin American’s are located in Providence, Where students from Providence public schools immigrated from, Where African American’s are located in Providence, Progression of Caucasians in Providence communities, Locations of students in Providence schools that were born in Dominican Republic, ethnic churches and businesses, immigration causing violence in providence,2000 census African American and Hispanic population and Perception of ethnicity locations based on a survey. We gathered data through Providence Plan as well as past and present census data in order to make accurate maps based on what interests us most in immigration. All of our maps helped us to come up with our main question; How can we help Providence more diverse and prevent different ethnicities from being segregated?

Final / Map Ideas:

Map the locations and migrations of ethnic groups. Compare your perceptions to current and historic census data and school department data.

Map the locations of ethnic businesses and churches.

Create a thematic map of the World, United States, or the Americas by where Providence public school students were born.

Conduct the Immigration and Ethnicity survey, highlighting interesting findings.

Create a “cultural map” of Providence of different ethnicities and where they overlap. Consider census and school-age populations, businesses, churches, and historic landmarks.
