Sounds like a great idea and one worthy of emulation in other cities.
 
Reminds me of the work of Charles Booth (the English social reformer of
the 1880s London) and Canon Abraham Hume (Liverpool in the 1860s), who
mapped on a block by block basis 'streets of crime and vice' and the
"wealthy and the well to do'.  Makes one realise that in some respects
our cities are not fundamentally different from those described by
Dickens.
