    Perusing the intertubes for answers to the questions, I found this comparing the Frazier neighborhood to the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.

    I think Dallas has just over 1M poeple within the city limits, and about a 25% poverty rate. Most of the poverty is in single parent households. So I'm going with b on both.
