the standard framework for analyzing the differences in outcomes between a treatment group (that experiences a policy impact) and a control group (that does not) could not be applied because all families receive the treatment during the timeframe of the evaluation. Third, the procedure allowed specific MTW activities related to CSS to be measured more precisely. Data on the characteristics of communities were collected from the following sources: the Decennial Census of 2000 and the Atlanta Regional Commission's 2005 midterm census update; the Atlanta Public School System and the Georgia Department of Education (GDOE) Annual Report Cards on K-12 Public Schools; the Atlanta Police Department Crime Incident Reports; IMS Human Services Management data on family support services; Metro Atlanta real estate information on property values and home sales; and business license data the City of Atlanta. Using three successive waves of focus group interviews (each conducted in November of 2007, 2008 and 2009), the research team gathered information on the perceptions of Grady families regarding their quality of life at Grady Homes in comparison to their quality of life following the relocation. Each focus group wave consisted of approximately 10 different focus groups and each group contained approximately 10 participants. 40 | P a g e
Section 5 2004 Baseline Characteristics for Grady Revitalization This section identifies the 2004 baseline characteristics of families who lived at the developments that were part of the Grady Revitalization. It compares the baseline characteristics to those of other communities. To facilitate the examination of the baseline characteristics, we start by comparing Grady, University, Antoine Graves and Antoine Graves Annex to other LIPH family and senior developments that did not undergo revitalization at the same time as did Grady. Appendix I 2004 characteristics of Grady Homes The management office of Grady Homes was located at 100 Bell St. SE. 30312. In 2004, Grady’s rental apartments contained 457 householders and 1050 individuals; the average age of the head of household was 47.1 years and youth (seventeen & under) comprised 46% of the housing assisted population. The target population is defined as persons who are employment eligible, meaning adults 18 to 61 years of age who were not disabled - - 372 or 35.6% of all persons at Grady were in the target population. Elderly persons and disabled persons represented 9.5% and 10.2% respectively of Grady’s total population and 84.7% of all households were headed by women. The average monthly rent paid by householders in 2004 was $193. The percentage of employed persons in the target population was 37.1% while the average earned income of employed persons was $13,347. Median household income was $9,155, which placed 78.3% of families below the poverty line. The average household income deficit (that is the difference between household incomes and the poverty line or the average amount it would have taken to raise families out of poverty) was $7361. The census tracts that encompassed Grady had the following characteristics: 2005 poverty rate was 58%; 2005 median family income was $12,633; 2004 average price of a single family home was $193,055; 2000 unemployment rate was 30.9%; the national percentile test score of the elementary school in whose attendance zone Grady was located was 43 (i.e. the composite score on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills); percentage of the total population that was black was 96.5%; there were 26 non-profit organizations in the census tracts where Grady was located that had $100,000 or more annual income; there were 294 total number of business establishments within the census tract; and employment-to-population ratio was 35.5%.
