Some grant applications include in their instructions (like the one I just submitted) that secondary schools use the statistics provided by their feeder schools, with the assumption that if the feeder schools have a certain population, chances are that children from the same neighborhoods will have the same general characteristics. I would think you could draw some of the same statistical conclusions for public libraries, only casting a wider net. There are also US Census data available that show income ranges in an area, right down to the city block. (of course, it'll be a few years old...)
