Usea ot Block Statistics
~ v ...
: '
Discuasiona an~ correspondence with users of Hou~1ng Census data
have impressed us with the diverse range or uses or block statistics--
particularly among city planners. \lith the enactment of the Housing Act
ot 1949. block statistics assumed a new and major significance. They
provided ~he basic information required for communities to determine
araas for. which they should make application for urban renewal which, at
that time, meant slum clearance. Once these determinations are made~
the data also are used to substantiate the eligibili.ty of the areas tor
l~ban renewal in the formal application to the Urban Renewal Adminisra-
tion. Some cities including Chicago. Detroit~ and Philadelphia, also
have used these data in making initial estim~te5 or the cost of their
urban renowal projects. Data on dilapidation} lack of plumbing facil~
ities, crowding, ,and rent and value levels 8,11 have been used tn evalu...
sting blocks in connection with urban renewal projects.
The 1954 am~ndment 5 to the Housing 'Act. have pl~ced an addi.tional
burden upon block stat1s~tcs in that communities are now using them to
obtain finer gradtiona of relative quality, i.e., to distinguish blocks
which are rehabili~able from those ~rllich should be cleared~ In conjunc-
tion ~th block population counts purchased ~rom the Census Bureau, block
statistics have been'used in relocation studies arising from projected
slum clearance programs o~ local communities.
The scope o~ urban renewal and slum clearance programs has
assumed significant proportions. As or Uecember 31, 1956, 435 such
projects located in 264 COtnmWl1ties in 3:3 States,' the District of
Columbia, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, were reported in various
stages or processing. These projects involve an ultimate outlay of one
billion dollars by the Federal Government and local communities and an
additional potential inve$tment from private or public sources of five
to ten billion dollars in the redevelopment of these areas.
Frequent use of block statistics has been made by private and
public social welfare agencies who have made studies attemptin~ to
correlate housing conditions shown by block sta.tistics with crime rates.
health conditions, juvenile delinquency. educational problems, etc.
Block statistics also are commonly used ror market research
purposes~ Private firms have used these data to establish economic
stratification of a community for the purpose of est.ablishin'~ sales
quotas, preparing new sales campaigns and t;o pr~pare pilot studies ,in
connection with the marketing of' new items. Block data also have been
used for the purpose of establishin",; the economic stratification of na:nes
on subscription lists.
Blocks have become a favorite tool of samplers who have used them
to establish stratified samples by using block size and economic status
indicated by the data. The~950 block statj.stics .frequently hL\ve been "
\ utilized by local planning agencies to r~H:onf)truct, for purposes of' com:" .-
