Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
The City’s geographic investment priorities are informed by the Newport News Comprehensive
Housing Study, which identifies significant disparities in income, housing condition, and
demographic composition across census tracts. These disparities demonstrate a clear need for
targeted reinvestment in areas with concentrated low- and moderate-income households,
aging housing stock, and higher concentrations of minority populations experiencing long-term
disinvestment.
Income and Minority Characteristics of Priority Census Tracts:
The three primary census tracts targeted for investment—Census Tracts 303, 304, and 309—have an
average household income of approximately $50,832, which is below the citywide median household
income of approximately $69,600. Based on HUD Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) area data derived
from the American Community Survey, these tracts meet the definition of areas with concentrations of
LMI households and are therefore eligible for area-based benefit activities.
These tracts also have significant minority concentrations, with higher proportions of Black or
African American residents and other minority households compared to citywide averages. This
demographic pattern reflects historic disinvestment and underscores the importance of
ensuring equitable distribution of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) resources in
