Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Neighborhood Analysis, Edenton, North Carolina: Inventory and Prospects
The purpose of this study is to identify and show the presence of blight in the Town of Edenton and to recommend positive action to eliminate present blight and to prevent future blight. For this purpose the town has been divided into 19 study areas located in eight neighborhoods.
Blight defies concrete definition, but for purposes of this study, blight is that combination of forces; physical, economic, and social that mar the appearance of Edenton and adversely affects the health, safety, and general well being of its citizens. Blight can be seen in deteriorated and dilapidated houses, in unpaved and unsafe streets, over crowded living conditions, unsafe water and lack of adequate sewer facilities. It can be seen in rows of houses with no parks or open spaces.
It comes to the surface in illegitimate children, infant deaths, diseases and crimes large and small. It shows in families who because of lack of education, disability or age are unable to earn an income to bring them into the main stream of life in Edenton.
