More than half of this extremely
urban population have no education beyond high school, and
more than a third do not have a high school diploma. Large numbers use public
transportation to travel to work, and nearly one in four households do not own a vehicle.
The proportion of renters to home owners is nearly the reverse of national averages,
heavily in favor of renters. The segment ranks first in the number or duplexes and small
complexes of housing units. |
|
Belief in God and faith involvement rank far below the
national average, while the belief that the government should be the primary provider of
human welfare services is significantly higher. Far more than average would rather have a
strong leader, while relatively few prefer to be left on their own without interference.
Contributions to religious organizations, educational institutions and charities are all
well below the national average. |
|
Religious affiliations highest above the national average
are Orthodox, Catholic (ranks number one of all the segments), Eastern Religions, New Age,
Judaism and Unitarian/Universalist. |
|
The primary concerns of this group are Affordable Housing,
Neighborhood Crime and Safety, Abusive Relationships, Neighborhood Gangs and Employment
Opportunities. |
|
Asked to identify programs and characteristics they would
prefer in a church, these households are more likely to indicate Twelve-Step Programs,
Care for the Terminally Ill, Active Retirement Programs and Divorce Recovery Programs. |
