Hastings-Sunrise

4,342 addresses on 53 streets, in the 1940 city directory

Hastings-Sunrise was a place of owners: the 1940 directory marks two in three of its households as owning their house, against half elsewhere on the site. For longshoremen, nowhere on the site comes close to Hastings-Sunrise: 104 longshoremen in 1940, three times as common as on the site's other streets. John Springer, at 2653 Adanac Street, was one of them.

Who lived at each house is read on every street in 1940.

At home

2,908 of the 4,270 households the 1940 street section lists here carry its * (the directory's mark for a family member owning the house), against half on the rest of the site's streets. *: some member of the family owns the property, to the best of our knowledge (the directory's own mark, printed from 1935).

Three in five of the people its name section lists here are householders (h); the rest live in someone else's house (r), as family, boarders or roomers. On the rest of the site's streets, half are householders.
