nance and premise rating was in the poor category for about eleven percent of the units. The target area overall was in the middle range for the factors of longevity, overall parcel rating, and housing stock condition. This target area is also within Census Tract 744,01 and the apartment information for the entire area has been previously summarized from the Multiple Unit Survey. The Block Statistics indicate that within this fifteen block area there was a total of 227 units in 1970 with 34 (15%) owner occupied and 174 (70.6%) rentals. The average value and rent for the target area were $14,800 and $83.00 respectively compared with $19,200 and $104.00 for the census tract. There were 12 units lacking some or all plumbing facilities, 70 one person households° and 27 units having a female head of household.

This area generally lies east of Bristol Street, south of Sixth and Fourth Streets, west of Broadway, and north of First and Walnut'Streets. Numerically it is the second largest target area and lies immediately adjacent to the largest target area just west of Bristol. A total of 611 units were surveyed. The overall housing stock condition was rated as fair based on a fair parcel rating and mid-range longevity factor. The units are rather old as 91.3 percent were pre 1945, however life expectancy is rather good with only 15.9 percent having less than ten years utilization anticipated. The quality of maintenance was rated as poor for 103 units (16.9%) and poor for premise rating on 123 units (20%). The area consists of 31 blocks with 14 blocks in Census Tract 750.02, 16 blocks in Census Tract 749, and one block in Census Tract 751. The Multiple Unit Survey showed the average rent for Census Tract 749 to be $125 and Census Tract 750.02 to be $110 (C.T. 751 was not considered applicable as only one block of the target area was within its boundaries).
