Visual aid: Age of Cincinnati buildings


Ever wondered which neighborhood has the oldest buildings in Cincinnati? This map, provided by CincyInsights, which is a real-time data representation program from the City of Cincinnati.

Submitted by a Cincinnati resident, this map shows a visual representation of the age of the city's buildings to show the historical progression of construction. It shows us what many Cincinnatians already know — that Over-the-Rhine is home to much of the city's historic building stock. But it also shows that just a few blocks south of OTR lies the majority of the city's new construction. 

This accompanying blog post from map creator Nathan Rooy provides more information about his map.

What other information can you gather from Rooy's map?
