Demographics and Characteristics of Middle Neighborhoods in Select Legacy Cities
Abstract: Legacy cities represent a unique subset of American cities because they struggled to manage a severe loss of manufacturing jobs and experienced significant population loss. Across legacy cities, middle neighborhoods generally are home to a large share of the people and households that remain. This chapter argues that middle neighborhoods in legacy cities are vital because they are home to a substantial segment of a city?s population and therefore provide the tax base on which so many city services rely. It further offers a data-based description of the middle neighborhoods of several legacy cities: Baltimore, Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis.
