holds, and thirteen female headed households. The target area home value was $17,770.00 compared to the census tract value of $22,200.00 and the contract rent for target area rental units was only $78.00 compared to the census tract average of $123.00. The current population is estimated to be 382, eleven less than 1970, and this lower figure is based on an overall slight decrease in the persons per household. The percentage of units with 1.01 persons or more per room was thirty-five. D. The area generally referred to as Silver Acres basic- ally located on both the east and west sides of Euclid Avenue between Bolsa (First Street) Avenue and Hazard Avenue constitutes the fourth Target Area and covers portions of Census Tracts 890.01 and 889.03 about 11 blocks in area. This area is also reduced from the rehabilitation area indicated by the Workable Progra~ because of two~ recent mobilehome park developments. The survey of 395 units indicated 95 (24%) built before 1945, 55 (14%) with a life expectancy of less than ten years, 91 (23%) with a poor quality of maintenance, and 100 (25%) poor in premise rating. The area on the east side of Euclid Avenue was more severely im- pac;~d with older units, shorter life expectancy, and poor main- tenance and premise ratings. The area showed a degree of longer term stability and fair parcel rating sufficient to classify the housing stock condition as generally good. No responses to the Multiple Unit Survey questionnaire were received from this area. The 1970 Block Statistics indicated 445 units (50 more than the survey). Owner occupied units in 1970 were 182 (41%) and 251 (56%) rentals. The average value of a target area unit was $20,500.00 with the average of the census tracts being $22,500.00 and the average contract rent as $111.00 compares to the census tracts' average of $128.00. Seven units were conducted as lacking some or all plumbing facilities, 54 listed as single person households, and 38 households having a female head. The 1970 population of 1734 would be estimated as of 1974 to be 1658 persons. Approximately twenty-eight percent of the units had 1.01 or more persons per room. II. CENTRAL CORRIDOR AREA A. The first target area in the central corridor is within Census Tract 744.01 and bounded by McClay Street on the east, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad on the west, First Street on the south, and Fourth Street on the north. The area consists of nine blocks and 89 residential units were surveyed. Ninety percent of the units are 30 years old or older and 38 units have a life expectancy of less than ten years. Slightly over one out of three were clas,~ ¢ied as poor in the quality of maintenance and just under one out of two receiv- ed a poor premise rating. A mid-range longevity factor resulted from the survey and the overall parcel rating was distinctly in the poor category. 00012,
