That is kind of cool, but it's still a problem. Example: 19147. Though very small geographically, it is a mixed area. It has some of the poorest, most uneducated people in Philadelphia, and some of the wealthiest and most educated. It varies from hard-core welfare recipients living in projects to upper society movers and shakers living in million dollar townhouses. Look it up and see what it says.
