# Does new street trees by age of buildings show a pattern in Milwaukee?

These two aren't related across 60 City of Milwaukee neighborhoods: the correlation is 0.02, too small to call a pattern.

The quarter of neighborhoods that have older commercial buildings average 5.3, and the quarter that have newer commercial buildings average 5.8. Garden Homes is furthest from the pattern, at 22.5 with 1969 on the other measure.

Metric: New street trees per 1,000 residents. Period: Records on file today; City property file.

To be counted, a neighborhood has to meet the floor on both measures. Neighborhoods under that are in the table with their numbers and the reason, and aren't in the correlation.

## Suburbs

No suburb has this figure.

## How it was measured

We plot each City neighborhood on both measures and compute the Pearson correlation across the 60 that meet the floors. Sources: City of Milwaukee street trees planted in 2024 and 2025 (DPW Forestry); City of Milwaukee Master Property File (MPROP).

## What would change the answer

This shows a pattern across neighborhoods. It doesn't show that one thing causes the other, and it says nothing about any one person. A correlation near 0 means no straight-line pattern, and one or two unusual neighborhoods can move it.
