social characteristics of Fifth Avenue area

 

The Fifth Avenue area includes portions of three census blocks. The area north of Plain Avenue is part of block 107; the area south of Plain Ave. between Biehn St., Pleasant St., and Valley Place comprises block 201; and the small section of the Redevelopment Area to the east of Biehn Street and south of Plain Ave. lies in block 202. The population of all three of these blocks decreased by more than half from 1960 to 1990 and is expected to show further decline when then 2000 census results are available. These blocks are also more racially heterogenous than New Rochelle as a whole, with nearly 60% of the population being non-white.
