Population Count Project

Our Population Count Project teams collect mapped data on neighborhoods throughout Seattle to compare with our previous two years of information. Students receive field training to perform vehicle residence mapping within their study areas. This data is compiled at the end of the study and converted to geographic information systems (GIS) format for correlation with past and companion data sets. 

Results of data collected during the Population Count Project are used to show how vehicle residents use public space as a resource, how parking ordinance affects vehicle residency, and what charactertistics are common to areas with high vehicle residency.  Student collected research data is published in our yearly advisory reports.
