[quote=Essbee]Alvarado Estates IS gated, at least it was the last time I walked in/out (2004 and ~2006).
Agree with the rest of your statement… the census tract there includes many thousands of college students with very low incomes, lowering the average.[/quote]
I stand corrected, I just took a look on google maps and the gate is pretty obvious. It wasn’t there in 60’s when the area was originally developed, through the 80’s for sure. Last time I was there was probably mid-90’s. Pretty sure it wasn’t there then.
