November 4, 200717 yr WESTWOOD!!! ... blowin it up in tha 2G+7! ... seriously though, that's like the entire population of a city that I used to live in! Ha!
November 4, 200717 yr Poor little California... has anyone else seen that hood? It's a bunch of trailers on the river. Not what I expected when I saw "yacht club" on the map!
November 4, 200717 yr Poor little California... has anyone else seen that hood? It's a bunch of trailers on the river. Not what I expected when I saw "yacht club" on the map! Theres some huge houses up in the hills of California.

November 4, 200717 yr California gets flooded by the Ohio River regularly. Some of the residents actually move their trailers to higher ground during floods.
November 4, 200717 yr Now I'm going to have to do a California thread. And Fay Apartments. You would.
November 4, 200717 yr Really, what is the difference in a neighborhood with trailers juxtaposed with mansions and Atlanta?
November 5, 200717 yr What's crazy (and utterly irrelevant) is that you can't find non-sweetened tea in Canada either...
November 5, 200717 yr alright lets have the mods lock this one down top five westwood west price hill east price hill avondale college hill
November 6, 200717 yr And most of those neighborhoods are the ones that are having the biggest losses in population...
November 6, 200717 yr I am shocked that East and West Price Hill together has 35,000 as does Westwood. Wow, that's a lot of people.
November 6, 200717 yr Yea, aside from downtown developments, (which I fully support) the city needs to be doing everything they can to retain and hold on to these populations. The existing housing stock can hold so much more than what these numbers reflect. The more people they let leave the area due to crime, blight, and other issues in the coming years, the harder it will be to ultimately to get them back from the townships and Indiana towns farther west. This area of town has the potential to be twice as bad as OTR in it's worse day due to the number of households and square miles that it encompasses. (Not to sound negative but the neighborhoods of Westwood and P-Hill are at the tipping point right now.) There is alot of die hards residents who are doing so much to try and save the area but the shear numbers (sq. miles and people) are larger than anything this city has seen when you combine these two neighborhoods. In that same breath, this area also has the potential to be something great for the city. If done right and protected from further blight, the city has the opportunity to turn this area into the breadbasket for the overall INFILL goals that Cincy needs to start raising that population with some AUTHORITY!
November 6, 200717 yr For examples of what these neighborhoods could become see the Reading Road corridor pretty much from Avondale out to Roselawn. This is not a racial issue but simply neighborhoods that saw substantial economic decline in the last third of the twentieth century, though Bond Hill and a to lesser extent Avondale seem to be recovering. Roselawn is still falling.
November 6, 200717 yr This area of town has the potential to be twice as bad as OTR in it's worse day due to the number of households and square miles that it encompasses. I disagree with this assessment. Inherently, Price Hill and Westwood do not have many of the same problems that the west end and over the Rhine had. These western neighborhoods are far less dense, which disperses crime (assuming the same criminal level). In fact, the crime level in the west side neighborhoods, while high, have not been at the levels of the good old ghetto downtown . I can't imagine any street corner in Price Hill that would have the sheer number of criminals that 12th and Vine had ten years ago. The housing stock in these neighborhoods may be somewhat in disrepair, but they are not nearly as blighted as the housing stock in OTR/WEST END. A very high percentage of the housing stock in OTR was 1-2 Bedroom units that were built for immigrants and workers. Many (the city, Restoc, etc) have cited examples of 3-4 children households in OTR who lived in 1 bedroom apartments. Section 8 in Price Hill/Westwood provides more livable space for families, which helps the crime rate in the long term Another note on the infrastructure: Westwood/Price Hill does not have the access to highways that OTR and the West End had. I know that sounds like a non-factor, but I think that OTR was more attractive to drug smugglers/imported gang activity because of it's accessibility (and complete neglect leading to...) The west side neighborhoods still have a decent amount of neighborhood watchdogs. The Price Hill community council with Pete Witte, Price Hill Will, and various other community organizations have done a good job in the neighborhood through the transition. It could have been much much worse. I half-expected a black vs. white war to erupt! Also, there was a unique situation in the West End/OTR from 1981-2000 where the criminal element had a lot of political clout. Price Hill/Westwood seems to be prepared to fight this tooth and nail. I think that a more comparable (worst case scenario) neighborhood for Price Hill/Westwood is Avondale. The decline in Avondale began with slum clearance in the 1930's and 50's and has still not recovered. Price Hill/Westwood is dealing with slum clearance in the 21st century. Avondale, while in certain decline for decades, is not nearly as bad as OTR in its heyday!
November 6, 200717 yr "Section 8 in Price Hill/Westwood provides more livable space for families, which helps the crime rate in the long term." I would agree with you 50% on this. I am not entirely sure how Section 8 works, but it seems to me they have saturated this area with families receiving vouchers. I would agree with your statement on more liveable space = crime reduction in the long term IF spread out more evenly among the county or better yet the region. In this case you are essentially displacing one towns problems to another. Now, I could be wrong and have attempted to look up the county's demographics regarding Sec 8, but have never found anything. Maybe, referring to OTR was a little overdramatic but I ask you to take a walk down Warsaw Ave and tell me that East Price Hill hasn't gotten the short end of the stick. It is hard to sell a young family a house in these type of areas. I am not going to name any other towns, but I KNOW there are towns within the county who have little to no voucher residents living within their borders. I believe this system will work to reduce crime and encourage a sense of hometown pride IF it is implemented in the manner that is was designed.
November 7, 200717 yr If you add the three Price Hill neighborhoods together, their populations actually exceed Westwood, at 36,388. Are these really three different neighborhoods (i.e., significant geographical or socioeconomic divisions), or does the city just break them up for statistical purposes? Also, does anyone know how much the population has changed in the CBD and OTR since 2000? Thanks!
November 7, 200717 yr The westside is blessed and suffers for its transportation issues. Compared to say Pleasant Ridge, Westwood is harder to get to (especially for an Eastsider), this has the positive effect of preventing large scale criminal trafficing but it does mean in our current sprawled out work geography sometimes the westside suffers by comparison to the center and eastside. Hopefully the Waldvogel rebuild and 75 will help out, but the westside N/S hwy might not have been such a bad thing especially with a bridge to KY near the airport.

Lower Price Hill was originally Storrs Township. West Price Hill contains later annexations from Green and Delhi townships. EPH is the rest. I don't know when or how the usage of East, West and Lower came into vogue, though.
