I
Executive Summary The Weinland Park Evaluation survey was created in response to a need for comprehensive baseline data that would set the foundation for tracking changes in the neighborhood overtime, and a needs assessment of residents to be used to guide program development.
A geographically stratified random sampling technique was used to recruit participants, and a $20 Kroger gift card was used as an incentive to participate. The boundaries of the neighborhood included High Street on the West, the CSX Railroad Tracks/Grant on the East, Chittenden Ave‐nue on the North, and Fifth Avenue on the South. Sampling was accomplished by visiting every third house or housing unit and continuing to recycle through parts of the neighborhood until a 25% threshold was reached.
The survey was conducted in an interview format. Two surveyors (from a diverse team of 9) met each respondent at a location of their choice, typically the respondent’s home. The interview included ~150 questions and took 45‐90 minutes to complete, and covered the following top‐ics: 1) Demographics, 2) Housing and Mobility, 3) Access to Basic Needs, 4) Neighbor Interaction, 5) Personal Interests and Community Involve‐ment, 6) Public Safety, 7) Workforce Development, 8) Education and Child Development, 9) Use of Computers and Media, 10) Economic Well‐Being, 11) Health, 12) Feedback about the Neighborhood, and 13) Needs Assessment. Upon completion of the needs assessment, residents were asked if they would like information about specific resources in the area. A Weinland Park resource list was created for this purpose. A member of the evaluation team, currently a graduate student of social work, followed up with residents of great need, and helped them over‐come obstacles to receiving services. A total of 441 Weinland Park residents were interviewed, a sample representing 26% of Weinland Park households. A total of 217 residents declined to be interviewed. The number of vacant housing units was found to total 313 (16%). Because numbers reported in results (noted in parenthesis throughout the report) represent about ¼ of the total households, percentages are the main focus to aid in interpreting findings. The following pages include key conclusions by topic that have resulted from the analysis of this survey data.
II
Demographics
When compared to the city of Columbus, overall, Weinland Park’s population is younger, with 45% of respondents between 18 and 30 years of age. Those who are married are a minority (only 11%), and single women with children make up 17% of respondents. Despite the low rates of marriage, 34% of households contain children, with 50% of children under the age of 5. A great majority (91%) of Weinland Park respondents are renters, many unable to meet minimum requirements needed to own or rent‐to‐own a home (23% of respondents reported they did not pay rent, and the average monthly payment was $361). 36% of the population is unem‐ployed, and only 18% have full‐time jobs. “Stable” work environments are not the norm, with 67% of those who work reporting inconsistent work schedules. Many Weinland Park residents require public assistance, with 49% receiving food stamps and 30% living in section 8 housing. Some residents are on the brink of homelessness, with 9% reporting they have been homeless over the last year, and 13% reporting individuals staying with them in their household for four nights per week or more as a guest. African Americans make up 50% of respondents, and are more concentrated in the eastern half of Weinland Park. Disparities in education are apparent, with African American respondents much less likely to have obtained High School or higher degrees when compared to their white counterparts. There is also a small, but concentrated (southwest), Latino population in Weinland Park (5%) with significant language, legal, and employment barriers. Students are a large subgroup of the Weinland Park population, with 18% attending OSU, and another 17% (many “non‐traditional” students) attending other local schools such as Columbus State and Franklin University.
Barriers to Employment and Workforce Development
The number one barrier to employment reported by respondents is health (22%) ‐‐ this includes having a disability, mental illness, an injury, a pregnancy, or a child with an illness. Other commonly mentioned barriers are transportation barriers (not having a car/license) (19%), the "bad economy" (no jobs available) (18%), and a criminal history (15%). Education (no high school diploma) (10%) and lack of childcare (7%) are also significant barriers. 30% of respondents have attended a workforce development program (28% of these respondents at Godman Guild), most (63%) over the last 3 years. 14% of those who have attended such a program report having a full‐time job, and 42% are unemployed. The characteristics of those who have attended programs are different from those of the larger Weinland Park population. They are more likely to be female (65%), African American (72%), have children residing in their home (56%), have a high school degree or less (82%), or to have been homeless over the last year (12%).
III
Housing and Mobility
67% of respondents report living in Weinland Park for 5 years or less, and 11% for 20 years or more. While 71% of respondents report their housing is in good condition or needs minor repairs, only 26% want to live in Weinland Park over the next 5 years, suggesting that factors out‐side of actual housing conditions (e.g., poverty, crime) are attributable to high mobility rates. When asked more specifically about buying a home in Weinland Park, responses are more positive, with 39% of renters reporting they would consider buying home in Weinland Park, and 49% of home owners reporting they would consider buying again. Survey responses indicate that there are around 500 section 8 units in Weinland Park, with CPO project units making up 343 of these units, and the remaining 157 being voucher based units (possibly more vulnerable to displacement if housing prices and rents increase).
Neighborhood Identification and Engagement
Most respondents (87%) do not identify as living in Weinland Park, but call the neighborhood they live in “The Short North,” “The Short,” “The Campus Area,” “South Campus,” or “The Gateway.” With regard to resident interaction, the most common interactions (36%) with neighbors are more superficial in nature (e.g., a “hello” from the porch), while more significant interactions include sharing meals, sitting on the porch together, or helping a neighbor with a "problem." Respondents report interests or volunteer experiences around helping those in need through providing or cooking meals, activities with children, sports, reading or writing, and music or dance. Survey responses indicated that Kroger’s (95% grocery shop here) and the Northside Library (51% attend on a regular basis) might be viable locations for resident engagement. One, or even a few, churches do not dominate with regard to resident attendance. Respondents attend over 150 churches in the Columbus metropolitan area.
Public Safety
Safety issues are a major concern for respondents, particularly in the evening hours; and when traveling in the eastern part of the neighbor‐hood, near corner stores; or when passing/being “hassled” by those loitering (e.g., “young, rowdy people”). 43% of respondents report that they or someone close to them has been affected by (were a victim of, witnessed, or affected by) gun violence. And, among other things, they report that they or someone close to them has been affected by home burglaries (42%), automobile break‐ins (37%), or domestic violence (33%). Trust of police varies by race and age, with older, white respondents instilling more trust in officers than younger, African American re‐spondents.
IV
Access to Basic Needs
Most respondents grocery shop in Weinland Park or bordering neighborhoods (95% at Kroger’s, 24% at Giant Eagle, 21% at Aldi), but are more likely to leave the neighborhood to shop for non‐food items (e.g., to Walmart, Target, or AJ Wright).
Use of Computers and Media
Respondents report high rates of literacy (99%) and reading levels, with 81% reading everyday. An overwhelming majority (92%) also report reading to their children under 11 years of age, most (62%) report reading to their child everyday. Library access is high, with 80% of respon‐dents going to the library, and 45% of these respondents visiting at least once a week. Respondents also report high computer literacy and access, with 85% of respondents knowing how to use a computer, and 67% having a home computer. 78% of these respondents also report having internet access at home.
Health
Survey responses indicate high levels of health problems among Weinland Park residents. 50% of households contain an individual(s) that has been diagnosed with one or more of these conditions: Asthma, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Obesity. Mental issues are re‐ported often, with 38% of households containing an individual(s) that has been diagnosed with one or more of these conditions: Depression, Anxiety Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia. 20% of households with children have a child with a developmental or behavioral disability, and 13% of households with children have a child with significant limitations that prevent full participation with peers. With regard to treat‐ment, 60% of households contain an individual who has sought treatment in the emergency room over the last year. The average number of visits was 5 (the median was 2, the mode was 1). Overall, Weinland Park respondents who have access to healthcare (58%) are satisfied with their treatment (mean score = 8, median score =9, mode score = 10). 66% of respondents drink alcohol. On average, the maximum number of drinks respondents have had on any given occasion during the past month averaged 7 (the mode was more than 12). 53% of respondents report smoking cigarettes, smoking cigars, or chewing tobacco. Respondents report that recreational drug use is a moderate to major problem for residents in Weinland Park (mean score = 7, median score =8, mode score = 10), a theme that was reiterated throughout different sections of the survey (Health, Public Safety, and Neighborhood Feed‐back), with respondents suggesting a need for increased police enforcement around drug use/dealing or AOD (alcohol and other Drugs) treat‐ment programs.
V
Children and Child Development
Weinland Park children attend schools throughout the Columbus metropolitan area, with 194 children of respondents attending 60 different pre‐, elementary, middle, and high schools. When deciding where to send their children to school, parent respondents note the most impor‐tant factors they consider are the quality of teachers/teaching, safety, the types of curriculum/variety of classes, location, and services offered (e.g., special needs programming, daycare, arts programming, college preparatory programming). 43% of parents have minimal interaction (a few times per year or never) with schools, and 80% are overwhelmingly satisfied with the schools their children are attending. Over half (53%) of children are not involved in extracurricular activities, with the biggest barriers to participation being that children are too young (or there are no programs for young children), lack of time, financial barriers, or transportation barriers.
Neighborhood Feedback
Overall, respondents are slightly satisfied with Weinland Park as a place to live, though a majority of respondents who have lived in Weinland Park for two years or more feel that conditions have improved. Although a great majority report not being involved in community organizing around new developments or neighborhood issues (75%), a majority (79%) note they would be interested if the opportunity arose. Respon‐dents want to see improvements around trash pick‐up, litter, and safety. They report that police and city services need improvement, and that vacant housing should be addressed. Many respondents also feel programming that provides more creative activities and outlets for children are needed and, from a safety perspective, feel unsupervised youth are a major problem.
Needs Assessment
The needs of Weinland Park residents are great, with the top needs of respondents being in the areas of economic development (employment that pays more than a minimum wage, entrepreneur development), health (access to insurance, dental, and vision care), basic needs (transportation, affordable housing), and social services (counseling).
