Many live, work , play, and learn in what are called Innovation deserts.
This map shows plots of Boston’s startup scene (over the last 5 years) with over $37 billion in funding raised. When the overall child opportunity index is overlaid, notice the innovation deserts that emerge in the tan areas. The majority of BPS students live in these deserts.
