Summary
This report analyzes social service expenditures in one low-income urban community as a model for examining the magnitude and composition of these expenditures in all such neighborhoods. It includes descriptions of other neighborhood resources, including the number, level, and wages of local social service entry level jobs that could be held by local residents, the composition of the job market in the community compared to the job market in the rest of the community’s metropolitan area, the degree to which local residents hold local jobs, and an estimate of the distances local residents travel to get jobs outside their community.
