Many people originally moved to this neighborhood to enroll their children in what was regarded as the best school district in the city. We are largely a group of independent, secure individuals who are aging in place. While neighbors are relatively friendly, and the area is rich with activities and services, there does not appear to be an emphasis on group activities among neighbors, with a couple of exceptions: one street of several blocks in the neighborhood that socializes monthly in front yards and a fairly active group of Democrats (12 or so) who work with the precinct chair plus another 12-15 others who, before COVID, attended a monthly breakfast to discuss progressive politics.
My community is largely made up of white (~60%) and Hispanic (~35%) people, late 60s and up. Many neighbors have owned their homes for 30 years or longer, and they continue to reside in large homes on large lots occupied by one or two people. We are affluent, well educated professionals who often have been involved in government service and the military, healthcare, education and social work. This precinct has voted majority Democratic in the last 3-4 years in spite of being associated with the most conservative section of the city, which generally trends Republican. Our precinct heavily supported Beto O'Rourke and many campaigned for him.
My community is largely made up of people who are retired with pensions and investments plus Social Security. Those who are employed are professionals, often in helping professions such as healthcare, education and social work, but also law, finance, real estate and small business owners. Many neighbors have owned their homes for 30 years or longer, and they continue to reside in large homes on large lots occupied by one or two people. The pleasant neighborhood doesn't suggest any environmental problems although neighbors are conscious of the larger climate issues and are somewhat concerned about damage to the Edwards Aquifer, our water source.
This community is most likely to be attracted to issues related to property taxes, public safety and public services. Our precinct would like to be redistricted so that our Democratic votes are not diluted by conservative precincts and outlying rural communities.
