Notable & Unique Neighborhood CharacteristicsWhen you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting.

The Neighbors The Neighbors: IncomeThere are two complimentary measures for understanding the income of a neighborhood's residents: the average and the extremes. While a neighborhood may be relatively wealthy overall, it is equally important to understand the rate of people - particularly children - who are living at or below the federal poverty line, which is extremely low income. Some neighborhoods with a lower average income may actually have a lower childhood poverty rate than another with a higher average income, and this helps us understand the conditions and character of a neighborhood.
