These <br /> neighborhoods show relatively low incomes and high concentrations of poverty, high rates of residential ' <br /> vacancy and abandonment, and a high incidence of sub-prime loans. The target areas, adjacent to <br /> downtown, are also areas that have begun to see some redevelopment activity, have greater market ' <br /> potential, and have been areas of focus by local nonprofit housing organizations. <br /> Geographic Distribution <br /> Target Area Percentage of Funds <br /> River Park Neighborhood 0 , <br /> Northeast Neighborhood 14 <br /> City of Mishawaka 3 ' <br /> St.Joseph County- Not South Bend or Mishawaka 0 <br /> City of South Bend 34 <br /> Census Tract 6 20 , <br /> Census Tract 19 11 <br /> Lincoln Park Neighborhood 5 <br /> Olive Street- Lincolnway West Neighborhood 0 <br /> Rum Village Neighborhood 13 <br /> Western Avenue Neighborhood 0 ' <br /> Table 5-Geographic Distribution <br /> Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically <br /> Based on data received from HUD for the NSP1 and NSP3 programs, the areas of greatest need in the <br /> City of South Bend were identified as Census Tracts 6, 4, 21, and 5,four of which are located in the Near ' <br /> Northwest and Near West Neighborhoods. The City also identified Census Tracts 19 and 20 as areas of <br /> greatest need based on the data and foreseen liklihood of foreclosures. Census Tract 19 is ranked as the ' <br /> 10th area most in need; however, it is believed that its proximity to four of the top five census tracts <br /> makes it a critical area to help stabilize. For 2017 the City of South Bend will focus funds for housing <br /> activities in Census Tracts 6 and 19.
