Neighborhood by Neighborhood Analysis<br />
Within Hamilton County there are significant differences in age, race and ethnicity,<br />
and family structure by neighborhood location.<br />
Age: Age statistics generated from the 2000 census by neighborhood indicated<br />
that Amnicola/East Chattanooga (32.0%) had the highest concentration<br />
of children under 18, followed by South Chattanooga (28.0%), and Ridgedale/<br />
Oak Grove/Clifton Hills (27.9%), all City of Chattanooga areas. North Chattanooga/Hill<br />
City/UTC had the highest concentration of 18 to 34 year olds<br />
(46.8%).<br />
Many of the low density areas were neighborhoods with more than 40% of<br />
residents between 35 and 64 led by Northgate/Big Ridge (49.2%) and Westview/Mountain<br />
Shadows (48.1%). More than one-fifth (22.2%) of the Signal<br />
Mountain population was 65 years or older. Lupton/Norcross and Downtown<br />
were the Chattanooga neighborhoods with the highest percentages in the oldest<br />
age group (19.6% and 19.1% respectively).<br />
