Chinatown Household Survey

Sanitation & Affordable Housing: Residency

q Better sanitation as the top priority for Chinatown was identified almost equally by all four ‘Residency’ groups (with the respondents who ‘work in Chinatown but live elsewhere’ being slightly in the minority), illustrating a consensus on the issue’s importance.

q The majority of respondents (32%) who identified affordable housing as a crucial need for Chinatown lived there but worked elsewhere, followed by those who both lived and worked in the community (26%). Interestingly, respondents who lived and worked outside Chinatown also accounted for 23% of those who identified affordable housing as an important need.
