“There is no mistaking it: we are in Jewtown. It is said that nowhere in the world are so many people crowded together on a square mile as here….yet the sign “To Let" is the rarest of all….Here is one (building) seven stories high. The sanitary policeman whose beat this is will tell you that it contains thirty-six families, but the term has a widely different meaning here….In this house, where a case of small-pox was reported, there were fifty-eight babies and thirty-eight children that were over five years of age. In Essex Street two small rooms in a six-story tenement were made to hold a "family" of father and mother, twelve children, and six boarders….These are samples of the packing of the population that has run up the record here to the rate of three hundred and thirty thousand per square mile.” – Jacob Riis, How the Other Half Lives, 1890 Source: http://www.yale.edu/amstud/inforev/riis/chap10.htmlhttp://www.yale.edu/amstud/inforev/riis/chap10.html
