housing conditions. Tar~etArea.S}rnopsis; The Target Areas depicted in Figure VII-1 and statistically described in Chart VII-1 are individually summarized in the following narrative. ~ach Target Area includes particular character- istics which differentiate them one from the other and will necessitate, under the consideration of action programs, an analysis of the appro- priateness of specific programs for each area's peculiar circumstances. AREA ~.ST OF THE SANTA ANA RIVER TO THE CITY LIMITS A. The first Target Area is contained within Census Tract 891.03 and bounded by Harbor Boulevard, Hazard Avenue, Jackson Street, Seventh Street, Harper Street, Fifth Street, the residential area east of Harper to First Street, and First Street moving in a clockwise direction from the intersection of Harbor and First. A total of 540 units were surveyed and approximately 13 percent were classified as poor in both quality of main- tenance and premise rating. The Target Area constitutes the majority of the neighborhood commonly known as Santa Anita. The majority of the units have been built since 1945 and only 7 percent have a life expectancy of less than ten years. Overall the area has potential for long range stability, however is currently only fair in overall parcel rating. The housing stock condition would be rated generally good. The Multiple-Unit Survey conducted byUrban Futures and the Planning Deparment generated responses concerning only seven units in this particu- lar censusltract, insufficient to reach any conclusions. The 1970 Block Statistics indicate a total of 551 units, of which 205 (57%) were owner- occupied and 322 (58%) rentals. Only five mits were indicated as lacking some or all plmbing facilities. The average owner value of mits was $15,660.00 for the Target Area blocks c~aredwith $20,S00.00 for the census tract and the average Target Area contract rent of $94.50 compared with $116.00 for the census tract. Single person households numbered 51 and female head of households were 80 total. The Target Area population of 2,594 in 1970would be currently estimated at approximately 2,520. Forty- one percent of the units were sho~n to have 1.01 or more persons per room. 1The 1970 Bureau of the Census Block Statistic infomation for the number of owner and renterunits usually fails to be cmnulative to the total number of units as the status of some units was un- ascertainable. Percentage figures are based on total mits and therefore do not always total one hundred percent. 000
