Buena Vida Report
The Buena Vida Report analyzes the current needs of the Buena Vida neighborhood in downtown Brownsville. It provides data that help us understand the conditions we see in the downtown housing, looking at the geographical, physical and social infrastructure, demographic, residential, educational, economic and criminal activity profiles.
In 2002 the US Census bureau ranked the top 220 counties with a population of at least 250,000 in terms of ten poverty-related issues. Cameron County, which includes Brownsville, TX was consistently shown to be one of the most impoverished counties in the US.
FYI:
Hildalgo County neighbors Cameron.
