Union Rescue Mission - The Way Home

FAQ

What are the physical boundaries of Skid Row, Los Angeles?

There may be several definitions of boundaries of Skid Row, but the one we see to be most accurate and widely accepted: 3^rd St./Alameda St./7^th St./Main St. (This was cited in an L.A. Times article in April 1999 and Donald Spivack's article mentioned above.)

The Census Tract in which URM is located (2063) is contained within these boundaries and when researching data, we find it useful to gather data based on this census tract, (defined as Skid Row to simplify.) Census Tract 2063 is bounded by: 5^th St./Alameda St./7^th St./Los Angeles St. Union Rescue Mission is specifically located on Block 3000 of Census Tract 2063.
