Income Inequality--Neighborhood Trees

Take a look at these two posts on Income Inequality. It would be wonderful if my students to determine what streets in their neighborhood they'd like to install trees on, and create a matching-drive donation to install trees on another street in a low-income area of the city. I might know a community contact to help with this project.

Is this a rich or poor neighborhood?
