Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Real Property Survey, Durham, North Carolina, 1939-1940 Following the standard procedure for real property inventories, the entire city was enumerated by blocks. A sheet was prepared for each block on which the area measurements and descriptions of the use of every plot of land and every structure were listed. This information furnished on the block lists, when mapped, constitutes the land use survey, and is of great value to a community as a guide to the formulation of policies in regard to zoning, communication facilities, and parks and playgrounds, as well as the location of future enterprise. Every dwelling unit on each block was canvassed and a real property schedule filled in covering the detailed date which, later tabulated by blocks and then for the city as a whole, served as the basis for the analysis attempted in this report. These data show, among other things, the type and construction of all dwellings in the city, their condition and age, and the presence or absence of modern conveniences, such as plumbing, central heating, and electric lighting. They also indicate the number and age of all persons who occupy the city's dwellings, the length of time they have lived there, the number of room ers and extra families in each dwelling, and the race of all occupants. The tabulation of the informa tion on the real property schedules is assembled in 98 tables. This constitutes the dwelling survey.
