The Isaac Dickson Community

The economic characteristics of the Dickson neighborhood show that this area has a higher poverty rate than its corresponding zip code area, the City of Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina and the nation. Over 50% of neighborhood families with children under age 18 are below the poverty level. Over 86% of families with children under age 5 fall below that level.

According to 2000 Census, the community population under the age of 9 is 16.3%. From those same data, the population of primary school aged children (K-2, ages 5 through 8 years) is estimated at approximately 8.5%.

There are no public playground facilities suitable for primary school aged children within walking distance of Dickson. Transportation to distant playgrounds is not an option for many local families.

Your donation will help provide needed school and community educational and recreational facilities. Click the Donate Now button located next to the playground drawing to help build Seth Olson Community Playground.
