O i,UrU"., housing problems are especially severe in parEicular rundovrn neigh-

.il hrhoods, to which such Eerms as "slumsrr or "blighced areasrr are commonly

lspplied. Housing problems are also severe in Ehe I'gheEtosrrr where povert.y

jOnd dlscrlmination have concentraEed so many Negroes and other minority-

,i:group Americans.

::.

O.,ijpspite Ehe widespread use of such geographic Eerms, Ehere is a deart,h

',{'pf hard, basic facts abouE t,he neighborhoods Ehey involve. One belat,ed

fgtep Eo.help overcome this lack has been Ehe Census Bureaurs recent, de-

,:talling of rrpoverty areast'in major metropollEan areas, in the Iight of

o

lrfindings from the 195O Censuses of Population and Housing.

f

irlhls research report represent,s an effort by the National Comnrission on 'iUtU.., Problctug to Ealte advanLag,c of thaE lnrporEanE nc$r geographlc concept

llby assenrbllng daEa -- never before t,hus surunarlzed -- about Ehe geographlc

isize of these poverty areas and abouE their houslng conditions. They rep-

,^{resent a considerable improvement, over Ehe overall or average figures l,beretofore used t.haE fait to paint Ehe whole picture.

i;

^j*rfs rePorr rs dellberately llmiEed to a presenEation and summary explani-l.stlon of Erre staEist.ics. But the flndings have nrany imporEant impllca-

'iitlons for public policy in dealing with urban houstng and ghetto problems.

o

ry 6how rhat Ehe defined poverEy areas of rhe major rneEropollEan central les had, ln 1960 --

Six Eimes as high a proporEion of substandard housing units

as other part,s of these cities (25 vs. 4 percenO;

More than twice as high a proport,ion of overcrowded units (18 vs. 7 percenE); and

Eight t,lnes as high a proportlon of nonwhite households (39 vs. 5 percenE).

most, sErlklng conErast ls between t.he general condiEions in Ehe suburbs

, Ehe condiEions in Ehe poverEy areas of the cenEral ciEies -- as shown

Table 7 --

Housing denslty in Ehe central cit.y poverE,y areas was 4O t.imes

as great (3rO7I vs. 75 uniEs per square mile);

Two-Ehirds (58 percent,) of the units were renEed in the central

ciEy poverty areas as against t.wo-thirds rc7 .4 percenE)

o!,rner-occupied uniEs in Ehe suburbs; and

Ten Eirnes the proportion of nonwhites lived in the central

, 

poverty areas (4O percent) as in the suburbs (4 percent).

O'lrnu reporEed staEisEics are, of course, nearly Io years rouE of dat.er,--

'.another example of the urgertt need for a more frequenE Census of Popula- r

.ifion and Housing. Nevertheless, Ehese data have provided useful back-

"rground Eo our Commission, and we are happy to make Ehem publicly available.

When Ehe comparlson 1s llmited to central-clEy EerrlEory, hlgh proporEions are also found {rmong many NortheasE areas: in half Ehe iO tZrdu Sl,lSArs in that reglon, t'he poverty-area proporEion of atl housing units in the central cit'ies was aE leasE 35 percent in 196o, and in only 3 instances was Ehls fracEion less than 25 percenE. The weit, wlEh reratively younger and ofEen geographically larger meEropolltan cent,ers, offers a cont,rast: of Ehe lg cenEral cltles there, only 5 showed poverEy areas accountlng for 25 percent or more of all houslng unlts.

Central City Housing 0ensity

OI|", poverEy areas of the cenEral- cltles typically have a considerably -higher rrhousing denslEyrr Ehan other parts of these ciLles. In 196o, the poverEy areas had 3ro71 housing units per square mile, or 64 percenE more than the Lr874 Per square mtle average for the renainder of the clt,ies. However, the poverEy areas also had a higher proport,ion of vacancles, so EhaE in Eerms of occupied housing uniEs it. ai"parity was not quit,e so

OgI:1.-,-- 3,::: per square mlte in poverEy areas, or 59 percenE hlgher -Ehan the I,787 n.t square mile elsewhere ln Ehese rnetropolitan clEles.

This tendency toward a reraElvely higher houslng density in poverty areas ls found for mosE of the 97 meEropolitan cent,ral citres for whlch a specific comparison c€ur be made. In 4 ciEies, there are aE least 4 times

Oas many uniEs per square mile in Ehe poverty-area porEion as ersewhere;
