Harris School postdoctoral scholar James Saxon speaks about his research on the mobility of neighbourhoods in Chicago during the lockdown. Here's what he found:
- Neighborhoods with African American or Hispanic majority residents spent 20% more time outside home than others
- Such disparities were prevalent across income, race, and educational attainment
- Moreover, these trends were the reverse before the lockdown: areas of the city as parks, the downtown area, etc. were accessed predominantly by those who were white, rich, or held high educational degrees
