Only 8%

What it is

Only 8% is a research project by Anton & Irene that analyzes the 4,589 streets of Barcelona to identify gender disparities in public naming. The site presents data showing that only 8% of streets are named after women, with many of those located outside the city center.

Structure & content

The interface includes a View Map option, a View Poll section, and an About the Project area. Textual content breaks down the city's street statistics, comparing the total kilometers and average lengths of streets named after men versus women.

Why study it

The project demonstrates how to present social research through specific metrics, such as the 62-meter difference in average street length between genders. It uses a poll to engage visitors in the conversation about fair distribution of public space names.
