Map A shows the densities of ethnic Chinese residents to be concentrated in 4 distinct areas of the city, the Northeast, West Philadelphia, Center City, and South Philadelphia. Map B shows the locations of community resources for ethnic Chinese residents’ health care services, businesses and real estate, supermarkets, business associations, places of worship, and social services. — Distribution of neighborhoods and services in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by density of ethnic Chinese residents, from 2014–2018 estimates. Map A shows percentages by neighborhood, highlighting those with a density of 8.7% or more. Map B shows locations of 6 types of community resources for Chinese residents overlaid on Map A to illustrate resource distribution in relation to population density. Geographic proximity of resources corresponds overall to neighborhood density of Chinese residents. However, not all types of resources are equally distributed, indicating they are unavailable to residents of some neighborhoods. Data sources: Chinese demographic data are from the American Community Survey 2018 (5-Year Estimates), prepared by Social Explorer (1). Boundaries for Philadelphia neighborhoods data are from OpenDataPhilly, developed by Azavea Inc (2). Community resource data are from the Chinese Philadelphia Yellow Pages (3).
