SitemapNeighborhood Typology
The main purpose in developing a market oriented neighborhood typology analysis is to characterize the market dynamics of each neighborhood for the purposes of adopting effective market appropriate revitalization strategies.
Neighborhood Typology
A quantitative measure of a neighborhood’s condition based on five statistics:
- median household income
- owner occupancy
- percentage of mortgages that are subprime
- total number of foreclosures over defined 18-month time period
- percentage of total parcels in Youngstown containing either a vacant lot or vacant structure
The combination of these statistics places a neighborhood under one of three typologies; each typology utilizes a specific intervention strategy:
- stable typology with protective intervention
- transitional/intermediate typology with revitalization intervention
- distressed typology with redirection intervention
Asset and Capacity Inventory
A qualitative measure based on a neighborhood’s:
- assets – parks, new schools, and art and cultural institutions
- capacity – neighborhood groups and other stakeholder institutions
This indicates existing assets from which to build and the potential of resident participation in a neighborhood being considered for development.
