Analysis of SurveyResults Gener,al ~indings: The "factor analysis" of housing characteristics and socio-econ~mlc conditions (Chapters VI and VII of Technical Background Report) establishing the zelative degree of problems by census tract and the results of the parcel-by-parcel survey showed a high degree of correlation. Three major subregions of the City distinctly predominate the concentration 'of major housing and socio-economic problems. 1. The area west of the Santa Aaa River between Seventeenth Street on the north and First (Bolsa) Street on the south to the western City limits has four separate target areas consisting of the Progresso, Silver Acres and Santa Anita (two locations) neighborhoods. 2. The Central Corridor Area of the City running east-west from approximately Grand Avenue to Fairview Street and a combination of Civic Center Drive, Seventeenth Street, and the Santa Aha Freeway on the north and Chestnut Avenue on the south contains six distinct target area locations. 3. The singular Delhi Area in the southeast portion of the City bounded by Warner Avenue on the north, the Southern Pacific Railroad on the east, the l)yer-Halladay industrial area on the south, and Main Street on the west constitutes a target area. Upon looking at the target areas in comparison to previous studies by the City of Santa Ana concerning locations of housing problems and the Potential Problem Areas identified by this study, certain directional or associative conclusions may be drawn. There appears to be a growing and accelerating trend in deteriorating housing and socio-economic conditions covering expansive areas from Seventeenth Street on the north to Warner Avenue/Delhi Area on the south stretching between the east and west City limits. The areas of potential housing probl~ns identified appear to originate from Target Area boundaries, except in the areas at Greenville south of ~dinger and at Main Street and the Santiago Creek. Potential Problem Areas in the Central Corridor and Santa Ana River West areas cluster around First Street on both the north and south between Seventeenth Street and F~linger Avenue. From the Delhi Area, the location of potential housing problems run from Warner Avenue north between Main Street and Standard Avenue until reaching the Central Corridor Area, or vice versa, creating a connection between two target areas almost a mile and one-half apart. A total of 4,018 of the units surveyed were allocated to some eleven Target Areas. Of the total units, 2,595 (64.6%) were built before 1945 and 645 (16.1%) had a life expectancy of ten years of less. 000119
