How we measured this

We plot each City neighborhood on both measures and compute the Pearson correlation across the 135 that meet the floors. Sources: City of Milwaukee street trees planted in 2024 and 2025 (DPW Forestry); U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 5-year estimates, tables B01001, B19001, B25003, C16002 and B08301 by block group.

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.
