The article focuses on Boston, Massachusetts' poor population and how they utilized the city's Almshouse between 1795 and 1801. The authors explain that most Boston Almshouse inmates were from the Boston neighborhood known as the North End rather than from pastoral areas. They discuss the residential mobility and residential patterns of the Almshouse inmates, explore how immigrants seemed to cluster together at the Almshouse, and examine the relationship between economics, social class, and population density in the city.
