Housing and Demographics The First map is comparing two neighborhoods: Mt. Pleasant and Manton. It represents the different building values for residential properties. The second map is comparing the crime rate on the east side and west side for low-income areas. The third map is comparing rent and mortgage rates in different areas. The fourth map is comparing rented versus owner occupied houses. Overall these maps are helping us identify our topic which is how will affordable housing create less conflict.
