Search older housing and asthma rates. Asthma Prevalence and Housing Built Before 1950 come up.
Read each sheet's caveats first: they say what the numbers can and can't support.

H05 story angles

Which Milwaukee-area neighborhoods have the largest shares of older housing, and what does that mean for repair needs and housing costs? AI
Are areas with older housing stock also areas where residents face higher housing burdens or maintenance problems? AI

W01 caveat

These are modeled estimates produced by a methodology, not direct counts of people with asthma, so avoid saying how many people have asthma. AI

Our grant application needs Harambee's poverty numbers, by age.

Open the Neighborhood Portrait Spreadsheet (N03).
Pick Harambee and the newest year, then Poverty Status by Age.
Quote each estimate with its margin of error, and cite the Census table linked on the sheet.
For the story behind the numbers, read Harambee's Neighborhood Portrait report.

Percentages and precision columns have formula errors in DYCU's file, so they aren't shown.
