Answer :
To determine which statement is accurate based on the given chart, let's analyze each statement step-by-step using the information provided:
1. Both Chicago and Philadelphia have dealt with white flight, but this situation seems more severe in Philadelphia.
- From the chart, we see the percentage of white persons in Chicago is 45% and in Philadelphia is 41%. This suggests that Philadelphia has a smaller percentage of white persons compared to Chicago. If we assume white flight refers to a decrease in the white population percentage over a period of time (though this assumes previous knowledge of past census data), Philadelphia has a smaller percentage, indicating that white flight might indeed be perceived as more severe in Philadelphia compared to Chicago.
2. Chicago has more housing than Philadelphia that is affordable for low-income families.
- The chart provides home ownership rates but does not specifically mention affordability or the availability of housing for low-income families. Therefore, this statement cannot be evaluated based solely on the provided data.
3. Chicago has developed along transportation lines, whereas Philadelphia has not.
- The chart does not provide any information about city development patterns or transportation infrastructure, so this statement cannot be evaluated from the provided data.
4. Both Chicago and Philadelphia have experienced an increase in home ownership.
- The chart provides current home ownership rates (from 2005-2009) but does not provide past rates to compare and determine if there has been an increase. Thus, this statement cannot be validated with the data provided.
5. Both Chicago and Philadelphia have significantly limited the urban sprawl in their metro areas.
- The chart does not provide any information regarding urban sprawl or policies limiting it, so this statement cannot be evaluated based on the data given.
Based on our analysis, the only statement that aligns with the data is:
- Both Chicago and Philadelphia have dealt with white flight, but this situation seems more severe in Philadelphia.
The other statements either cannot be analyzed or lack sufficient data to be accurate based on the chart provided.
