Access to healthcare services because of the Health and Hospital clinic on Gerard Avenue, between 167th and 168th streets. There are schools in the neighborhood for both elementary and high school. Public transportation is right around the corner to the 4 train, and also about two blocks away from the B and D trains, as well as the busses that run on the Grand Concourse. There are a number of no profit organizations that provide community and family support services. Around the area are shopping stores, supermarkets, and restaurants of all sorts. Finally, there's a park nearby where children and adults can participate in recreational activities.
The community is predominantly Latino, African American and overall BIPOC. Languages spoken are mainly Spanish and English. Many residents are immigrants, some are documented and some are not. There are many Catholic and Muslim groups. There is a modern art museum nearby called Bronx Museum of the Arts that is free to everyone who wants to enter.
An economic issue is that many of the residents are in need of public assistance, housing, food stamps, and immigration services. Some are not employed, don't have documentation to work, or simply are not capable due to disabilities or other health issues. Environmentally, there is a lot of pollution in the area that can be improved through community efforts to clean up and maintain the neighborhood.
Despite the economic and environmental issues, there have been improvements throughout the years thanks to non profit organizations and H+H that have been serving the people in the area. However, crime and drug use in the area is apparent, which has been an ongoing issue.
