Total population in each area.
Total population is a baseline measure that indicates the number of people living in a Neighborhood Profile area. It is used to calculate density and other per capita data. Trends in population show were the community is growing and where it is decreasing, which can help government officials and other service providers know where infrastructure and other services may be needed.
U.S. Census, 2010
Median age of residents in each area.
The age of residents in a neighborhood provides an indication of its character, including the resources and the services it may need. A younger population could need help with educational and employment resources and access to recreational facilities.

Median Household income of each area.
The median household income provides an indication of how well people are doing financially in a neighborhood. Lower wage earners may have higher percentages of their income devoted to consumption and less for saving, making them less resilient in economic downturns. Higher wage earners may have more of their income available for consumption and more savings that can enable them to be resilient in economic downturns. Total disposable income is a function of both of consumption and population. Service providers and retailers look at income levels to help them locate their services.

The percentage of total violent crime incidences reported in an area.
Perhaps the most important indicator of community safety is the violent crime rate. This data shows where high rates of violent crime exist, so that neighborhoods and public safety officials can maximize resources. By having access to additional resources, residents and police can develop strategies to target specific crimes.

Average year built of residential housing for each area.
Categorizing the average year of construction for single-family housing provides an indication of the condition of a neighborhood’s housing stock. Typically, older houses need some level of repair, renovation, or maintenance. Comparing the average year of construction with other variables such as housing code violations provides an indication of areas in need of home improvement resources.
2010 Decennial Census
The year of construction for each single-family detached housing in each Neighborhood Profile Area (NPA) is summed and dived by the number of housing units in the NPA. N/A includes NPAs with zero residential buildings.
Percentage of rental dwellings for each area.
Rental housing is a desirable option for many residents, particularly in the current economic climate. Increasing numbers of rented properties should be analyzed with other data such as the age and condition of the homes, design, or house size, adjacent land uses, and area incomes. A major factor to consider with rented homes is the level of management by the owners which impacts adjacent properties positively or negatively as much as owner-occupied dwellings.
2010 Decennial Census
The number of single-family (detached) rental housing summed for each Neighborhood Profile Area (NPA) and divided by the NPA total number of single-family (detached housing).
Median rent of all housing units for an area.
Quantifying housing affordability by median rental cost provides an indication of the overall value of residential property, amenities in the surrounding area or types of adjacent land uses among other related variables. Neighborhoods with rental cost below area averages do not always indicate a lower quality of living. Other factors to consider in lower rents are the average size of housing units, location, housing design, and supply of housing in the area.
2010 Decennial Census
The median gross rent of all housing units for each Neighborhood Profile Area (NPA). Gross rent is the contract rent plus the estimated average monthly cost of utilities (electricity, gas, and water and sewer) and fuels (oil, coal, kerosene, wood, etc.) if these are paid by the renter (or paid for the renter by someone else).N/A includes only NPAs with less than 50 rental units in the sample. Rent cost is inflation adjusted to 2010.

Number of documented nuisances for each area.
The City of Greenville requires property owners to maintain their premises in a safe and sanitary condition. Violations include graffiti, high weeds/grass, accumulation of trash or abandoned structures. Tracking the types of calls assists neighborhood residents identify repeated problems and develop a strategy to identify solutions. Sudden increases in nuisance calls for service may also show signs of improvement in a community through focused enforcement efforts.
