Spatial Analysis of Social Inequalities in Road Traffic Injury

This ongoing project maps how social inequalities shape the risk of road traffic injuries across neighborhoods in British Columbia. By combining census data, crash records, and spatial modeling, it highlights patterns of deprivation and injury risk—especially for pedestrians and cyclists—to inform safer and more equitable urban planning.

Impact: Provides evidence of strong socioeconomic gradient across all regions of the province, a first step to creating and evaluating equitable transportation safety policies.

Tech Stack: R (INLA, tidyverse, sf), GIS, Bayesian spatial modeling
