NYC Fan Maps
Following suit from our first installment that detailed where Cubs and White Sox fans live, we decided to next tackle New York City and its five boroughs. Check out the maps below for the full breakdown of where the most MLB tickets have been purchased for the Mets and Yankees across all of New York City, as well as in The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
Methodology
Data is based on Vivid Seats ticket sales from 2013-2015 using orders from each zip code for both Yankees and Mets. The percentage of the total for each team is represented in a gradient on each map – the darker the color, the more heavily the zip code favored that team. White zip codes indicate closer percentages.
