Religion and the church. Differences in religious and moral attitudes are potent elements in the determination of lines of association in this neighborhood. The Catholic church is a dominant force, but most of the Protestant churches are losing ground. Missions, representing the more mystical creeds, enlist the interest of a considerable element of the population. Education and delinquency. Part of this neighborhood has the lowest school-attendance rating of any section in the city. The children attending one of the schools in this section were rated by a psychologist as mentally two years below the children attending a school in a higher economic area of the city. Juvenile delinquency is slightly more prevalent in this neighborhood than in the city as a whole. Neighborhood sentiment. Positive sentiment for the neighborhood and surrounding neighbors is rarely expressed by resident family groups. Occasional streets, however, contain intimate neighborly groups of people who are happy in their physical and social surroundings.
