8-Week Bedbug Map Explorer (New York City at Community District Level)

Recent Infestation Reports Filed May 20, 2024 - July 15, 2024

Description: The Bedbug Map Explorer (New York City at Community District Level) presents data on recently reported infestations in New York City, organized by community district and spanning the most recent 8-week period. Categorical bins were derived using standard data normalization techniques. The results reveal a pattern: as the distance from the population centers increases, the probability of infesting a new building rises, while the likelihood of reinfestation after eradication decreases. This suggests that population centers serve as bedbug reservoirs which export smaller satellite infestations into less densely populated communities.
