Preferred term

skid row  

Definition(s)

  • Skid row refers to an urban district inhabited predominantly by poor, single, adult males, rather than families. It also has been associated with alcoholism, especially during the 1950s, although some studies have brought that analysis into question. [Source: Encyclopedia of American Urban History; Skid Row]
