This home was found in the Sheldon/Charter Oak neighborhood, not far from another Casa Linda.
Colt Park takes up about half of the Sheldon/Charter Oak neighborhood. It includes Dillon Stadium, Kinsella Magnet, Butler-McCook Homestead, Polish National Home, Saint Cyril and Saint Methodius Church, the Connecticut Creative Store, Sports and Medical Science Academy, and a whole lot of revitalization efforts in recent years. This neighborhood has about three times the population of Downtown, but only one-third the amount of violent and property crime that Downtown experiences. While looking at data, I learned that my neighborhood, which has been described as “rough” and “dangerous” actually has less violent crime (at least reported) than Downtown.

Really pretty photo–thanks for Casa Lindas!

If anyone was wondering, as I was, the source of the population data in that HartfordInfo.org link is from the SF-3 Dataset of the 2000 Census.
The picture reflected in the 2010 Census will be even sunnier, no doubt.
Post Nubila Phoebus is the sign of the times for Hartford… at least that’s what I saw in a couple of December posts on Hartford Signs.

Can’t wait for the new data. Wish census happened more frequently, actually. People move around a lot more now than they used to.
