T.F. Green Airport Improvement ProgramEnvironmental Impact Statement and Final Section 4(f) EvaluationAccording to 2004 American Community Survey data, an estimated 129,820 households were housingcost-burdened in Rhode Island. 180 In 2008, an estimated 143,280 households were housing cost-burdened,according to a more recent American Community Survey, representing an approximately 10 percent increasefrom 2004. Table 4-16 summarizes housing affordability of the Study Area compared to the Cities of Warwickand Cranston, and the region, according to the U.S. Census of 2000. 181Table 4-16Housing Cost Burdened Households in 2000: Study Area Compared to Cranston, Warwick,the Region, and Rhode IslandRenters paying 30%+of incomeRenters paying 50%+of incomeOwners paying 35%+of incomeOwners paying 50%+of incomeGeographic Area Percent Number Percent Number Percent Number Percent NumberRhode Island 39% 59,467 19% 28,844 17% 34,615 8% 15,937Region 1 40% 48,903 19% 24,059 17% 24,249 8% 11,186Cranston 35% 3,551 16% 1,603 19% 3,332 9% 1,623Warwick 34% 3,333 15% 1,487 17% 4,128 8% 1,890Study Area 40% 1,181 19% 552 17% 1,595 8% 684Source: 2000 U.S. Census.1 Kent and Providence Counties.4.4.2.3 Affordable HousingThe distribution of subsidized housing within the Project Area and Study Area was documented at the requestof the City of Warwick (Table 4-17, Figure 4-12). Under the Baseline Condition, there were 647 publiclysubsidized housing units in the Study Area (including the Project Area), including elderly (633 units), specialneeds (13 units), and subsidized family housing (1 unit). 182 There were 18 units of elderly rental (WarwickTerrace Annex located at 124 Tennessee Avenue) within the Project Area. The 647 publicly subsidized housingunits represent approximately 33 percent of the 1,944 total subsidized housing units in Warwick. Subsidizedhousing units represent 5.2 percent of the 2004 City of Warwick’s estimated total housing stock.180 Renters who pay more than 30 percent of their income for housing and homeowners paying more than 35 percent of their income for mortgage paymentsare generally considered “cost-burdened” as they may have difficulty affording necessities such as food, clothing, transportation, and medical care.181 The most recently available data on housing cost burdened households in the State of Rhode Island comes from the American Community Survey, whichis at a statewide level. Public data for Warwick and Cranston is available only from the 2000 Census. Although some 2010 census data was released inMarch 2011, a sufficient level of census data for the FEIS analysis was not released prior to the filing of the FEIS.182 This represents a Baseline Condition for context only. The Warwick Housing Authority indicated that a 26-unit elderly housing complex (Father OlsenTerrace) was discontinued in 2006, reducing the total to 621 subsidized housing units (607 elderly units) in the Study Area.Chapter 4 – Affected Environment 4-24 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH04_Affected_Env_JUL_2011.doc

Green Airport.Minority, Hispanic, and low-income communities in the vicinity of the Airport are shown on Figure 4-13. Oneminority census block and one Hispanic census block are located in the Greenwood neighborhood near theRunway 5 End. Two Hispanic census blocks are located near Strawberry Field Road; one west and one east of theRunway 5 End. Three minority census blocks are located near the northwest corner of Warwick Pond.Five minority census blocks, two Hispanic census blocks, and one census block that is both minority and Hispanicare located in the Spring Green neighborhood near the Runway 23 End. One Hispanic census block is locatednorth of Airport Road and east of Evergreen Drive. Two minority census blocks, two Hispanic census blocks, andone low-income census block group are located west of Post Road near the Runway 16 End. With the exception ofthe area west of Post Road on the Runway 16 End, the census blocks and census block groups below the statewideaverages for environmental justice populations greatly outnumber those census blocks and census block groupsabove the averages. 183183 On the Runway 5 and 23 Ends, there is an Asian population that constitutes a minority population as that term is defined in the DOT Order 5610.2.Chapter 4 – Affected Environment 4-25 July 2011\\mawatr\ev\09228.00\reports\FEIS_Final_July_2011\PVD_CH04_Affected_Env_JUL_2011.doc
