Individually, the plan defines low-income areas as Census tracts in which at least 40% of the individuals <br />within the tract are living at or below the poverty line. There are two such Census tracts in Santa Ana that <br />meet this definition. They are the two R/ECAP tracts identified above in the central/east portion of the <br />City. <br />The plan defines areas of minority concentration as areas in which the share of the minority population is <br />more than 20 percentage points that of the City's total minority population (78.2%). Within Santa Ana, <br />eight Census tracts have minority populations that are 98% orgreater. This includes Census tracts abutting <br />Grand Avenue on the eastern side of the City and tracts adjacent to Raitt Street south of downtown. <br />What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? <br />In each of these three tracts, the population is predominately Hispanic/Latino (greater than 90%). All three <br />tracts display high levels of housing cost burden for the overall population (ranging between 63 — 70% of <br />all households). <br />Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? <br />Each neighborhood throughoutthe City of Santa Ana contains its own unique community assets including <br />open space, trails, recreational areas, schools, job centers, retail and restaurants. <br />Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? <br />There are no readily apparent strategic opportunities to be addressed with CDBG funds specific to any of <br />these neighborhoods. The City will continue to fund and target HUD resources to meet community needs <br />and leverage other funding resources. <br />Consolidated Plan SANTA ANA 109 <br />OMB control No: 2506-0117(exp. 06/30/2018) 75A-117 <br />
