“Slumdog” was Hyde Park’s favorite movie in 2009

The northern-half of Hyde Park Netflixed “Twilight” a little more than did the southern-half, according to data put up by the New York Times.

Slumdog was the third most rented movie across the U.S. last year, according to the data.

Here are the five most rented films in each zipcode

The northern-half of Hyde Park favored Twilight a little more than did the southern-half: it was the 11th most rented movie in 60615, while it was only the 12th most popular in 60637.
