target areas, so that the housing probl~as and needs of subareas and com- <br />munities within the City coula be umlerstood within the context of problems <br />and needs of the City as a whole, within this City-wide framework, separ- <br />ate and related attention is given to the specific problems and needs of <br />smaller areas within the City, i.e., census tracts and target areas. <br /> <br /> It was decided that a County-~ride perspective ~ould also be pro- <br />vided so that the City and its census tracts a~i target areas could be <br />readily compared to overall housing market conditions. <br /> <br />Limitations of Data <br /> <br /> All relevant socio-economic and housing data contained in the 1970 <br />Census of Population and Housing was used during the preparation of this <br />doct, aent. In addition, many items of recent data were collected, analyzed, <br />and synthesized to determine 1974 social, economic and housing conditions. <br />Where current data items relevant to the study were not available and could <br />not be collected due to limitations in time and the cost of data collection, <br />the most up-to-date "state of the art" methodology for estimating these items <br />was used, i.e., income, unemployment. <br /> <br /> A general inspection of the entire City was conducted, followed by <br />a more intensive field survey of housing and other physical conditions of <br />specific '~roblem" target areas. The inventory followed the techniques of <br />the American Public Health Association as modified by the Environmental <br />Health Division of the Orange County Health Department and constituted a <br />'~indshield" survey of housing units and physical conditions of the target <br />areas. The inventory did not include the level of detailed house-by-house <br />inspection required to determine the cost of bringing a deteriorating or <br />dilapidated housingunit up to standards of the Building Code. <br /> <br /> Despite these limitations, the order of magnitude of housing con- <br />ditions indicated by the survey is valid for the purpose of reaching im- <br />portant conclusions as to the type, magrlitude and character of the City's <br />housing problems. <br /> <br /> <br />
