Remi Des-Ogugua

Data Analyst and graduate student in Applied Data Science at Howard University with a focus on using data to tell stories about inequality, space, and community change. My work is rooted in understanding how systems like education and urban development shape outcomes, particularly for Black communities. I use statistical analysis, spatial data, and visualization to connect data to lived experience and highlight patterns that are often overlooked.

The Beltline Effect: Race, Space, and Neighborhood Transformation in Atlanta

Overview

This capstone project examines how the Atlanta BeltLine has influenced housing costs and racial composition across neighborhoods over time. Using census tract data from 2000, 2010, and 2020, the analysis focuses on changes in median income, rent, and demographic patterns in relation to proximity to the BeltLine.

Key Findings

These results suggest that redevelopment is closely tied to rising housing costs and demographic change, particularly in historically Black communities.
