Boston EQUIP - A Project Of Associated Early Care and Education

Boston Neighborhoods

There are 42,822 children in Boston and more than a quarter of them live in Dorchester.

Twenty-four percent of Boston’s family child care capacity is in Roslindale / West Roxbury / Hyde Park.

In South Boston over half of the early care and education capacity is nationally accredited.

Each of Boston’s neighborhoods have a distinct constellation of children, families, and early care and education suppliers. Being able to see how each neighborhood looks individually, and how it fits into the city as a whole, allows for the generation of more accurate analysis and planning of resources. This section of the website provides data analyzed at the neighborhood level according to the neighborhood boundaries used by the Boston Community Partnerships for Children, and the Boston Public Health Commission.
