The scale of the districts

Zooming in to the scale of the districts, it is clear that the economical situation of widows is different in each districts.

It is worth mentioning that widows are not present in equal proportions in each district. In particular, the Ghetto is very dense with both widow owners and widow tenants.

Median rent varies among districts : San Marco is buy far the district with the highest median rent, while Dorsoduro has the lowest rent.

Widow tenants rent under median rent properties in every district except San Marco, San Polo and Cannaregio. San Marco and San Polo are also the two districts with the lowest density of widow-owned and widow-rented properties. Widow tenants seem to be economically integrated in Cannaregio.

The economical situation of widow owners is very different in each district. In Santa Croce and Dorsoduro, the poorest districts, they rent at even lower price than the district's median. Widow owners seem to be economically integrated in Castello. In San Marco, Cannaregio and the Ghetto widows rent at above median rents. Rent of widow owned properties is particularly high and exceeds 200% of median rent.


Median Rent in the districts
Sestiere Median Rent Widow Owners Median Rent Difference Widow Tenants Median Rent Difference Properties Widow Owned Properties Widow Rented Properties Widow Properties Density
Castello 124.0₤ +0.0₤ -12.4₤ 5774 36 49 1.47%
Santa Croce 111.6₤ -21.7₤ -31.0₤ 3218 45 36 2.52%
Cannaregio 124.0₤ +124.0₤ 0.0₤ 6016 25 31 0.93%
Dorsoduro 86.8₤ -13.6₤ -15.5₤ 5835 32 20 0.89%
San Marco 210.8₤ +49.6₤ +80.6₤ 5697 20 28 0.84%
Ghetto Novossimo 124.0₤ +18.6₤ -37.2₤ 529 12 8 3.78%
San Polo 142.6 -31.0 +31.0 2930 12 7 0.64%

To identify geographical biases it is necessary to observe rent at smaller scales.

Following in detail at each district. For each of them, the parishes in which widows are involved is provided by the dataset. Parishes represent local religious communities, but people do not always belong to the closest parish to where they live. In the following plots, parishes are represented by a line encircling all of it's members. Sometimes, non members happen to fall inside the parish's shape despite not belonging to it. Nobility owned properties are highlighted in black. Widow owners are highlighted in blue squares and yellow squares depending on their nobility status. Similarly, widow tenants are highlighted in red diamonds and yellow diamonds. Rent is shown with color. Here, the main method of investigation is to manually identify patterns in the following visualizations and comparing them to information about rent in the district's parishes.
