CENSUS UNDERCOUNTS, DIGITAL DISPLACEMENT, AND DATA JUSTICE: What Social Scientists and Data Users Need to Know About the 2020 US Census

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Census data are foundational to democracy, research and equitable urban policy. In addition to supporting political reapportionment and redistricting, census data serve as the backbone of the federal statistical data system and are often considered the highest quality data—the ‘gold standard'—for scholarly and policy research.

Equity in Evacuation Planning and Mitigation: Implications of Transportation Infrastructure and Social Vulnerability

open access: yesGrowth and Change, Volume 57, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This research addresses a critical but underexamined challenge in disaster preparedness: the identification of neighborhoods where evacuation is hardest to accomplish based on physical infrastructure constraints as well as inherent social vulnerability. Existing evacuation approaches emphasize the flow of traffic and the capacity of roads, but

A System for Generating Customized Pleasant Pedestrian Routes Based on OpenStreetMap Data

open access: yesSensors, 2018
In this work, we present a system that generates customized pedestrian routes entirely based on data from OpenStreetMap (OSM). The system enables users to define to what extent they would like the route to have green areas (e.g., parks, squares, trees ...

Focal‐Feature Regression Kriging

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Spatial interpolation is a crucial task in geography. As perhaps the most widely used interpolation methods, geostatistical models‐such as Ordinary Kriging (OK)‐assume spatial stationarity, which makes it difficult to capture the nonstationary characteristics of geographic variables.
