By the Numbers
How has Boston changed since Menino first took office? Let us count the ways. —By Loren Savini
Racial Composition: From 2010 U.S. Census. Participants in the census were permitted to select more than one identifying race, therefore the percentages add up to more than 100 percent. Violent-Crime Rate: Crimes committed per 100,000 people.
Office Space: Supplied by Colliers International, these numbers reflect only major commercial space, and do not include institutions, nonprofits, and small businesses. Convention Space: Reflects only square footage in Boston owned by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority.
