Neighborhood Fractures Highlight Shifting Community Ties
A survey of about 120 residents across census tracts 750100 and 750900 reveals safety concerns, loss of neighborhood cohesion, and reliance on downtown services. Many residents cite lack of good jobs, teen issues, and scarce basic stores as top problems, while positives include location and schools. Neighbors recall tighter social networks, with older residents like Ms. Wars and Ms. Bayles noting fading routines. About 1,800 people live in each tract, with a majority white population and significant car scarcity in 750100.
