This document discusses using social media and transportation data to monitor socioeconomic deprivation levels in cities. It presents three hypotheses: (1) deprivation is connected to "unexpected" mobility patterns, (2) higher bus versus tube use, and (3) lower social/geographic diversity. The analyses found deprivation significantly correlated with residuals from a gravity model of passenger flow, bias toward bus/car use over tubes, and lower diversity. Combining these factors explained over half the variance in a living environment deprivation measure. The document concludes timely monitoring of transportation and social media data can help allocate resources to address urban inequality.

#33: in particular, transport analysts and planners need to be able to understand and predict passenger flowso far there has been little work on modeling flows on public transport systems in an urban environment, or at the intra-city level.one reason for this may be lack of data, but with adoption of AFC in cities all over the world, this data is now readily available.
