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.
