Moncrief West

BG 120310161002

Summary: Facing compounded challenges of housing instability and legacy underinvestment, this BG represents a cluster of historically redlined zones still experiencing the ripple effects. Despite adversity, religious institutions and neighborhood groups show strong connective tissue.

Discussion Starter: How should community-defined indicators of strength (like informal caregiving and neighborhood networks) be better reflected in official statistics?
