Community Information

immigration Asian public health middle class multilingual

My community is made up of people who utilize the spaces near Elmhurst Hospital. There are two subway stations that serve as the most heavily populated/utilized hubs for shopping and businesses, and there is a public park nearby that is used by all ages.

My community is primarily Asian (South Asian, East Asian, South East Asian) and Latinx cultures. The area is very heavily populated by immigrants and families. The area seems to be made up mostly of middle aged people and children.

My area is primarily made up of small businesses and restaurants. 82nd street has lots of bigger chain stores, but almost everything else is a small business with a focus on ethnic cuisine and products. The Hospital is also an important aspect of the area as many people are employed there. People also use the space for the Jackson-Heights Roosevelt avenue subway station (and the 82nd street station). The community is not very clean or well maintained as it could be, and there are a lot of homeless individuals.

The area is crowded and there is difficulty when it comes to parking space and affordability. Many of the people who live there have lived there for a while, but because of gentrification, the prices are slowly going up and people are being pushed out. There are also a lot of cars in the neighborhood, so traffic and parking become an issue for residents.
