properties, or 55.3%, 29 of the 39 vacant buildings, or 74.4%, and 31 of 42 vacant lands,
or 73.8%. This can be related to the fact that: (1) Springfield Avenue is a longer street
than South Orange Avenue (5780ft vs. 4860ft), (2) large areas in South Orange Avenue is
occupied by the Pabst Brewery, the High School, and the Cemetery, and (3) South Orange
Avenue also presents a more clustered composition than Springfield Avenue, with mixed use
type of land (33.1%).
