My community is made of young professionals and families. Members of my community have ample access to green spaces, schools, healthcare and a variety of fresh food options, most of these resources being within 20-30min walking.
My community is predominantly made up of members of the LatinX community based in East Harlem, and the Jewish community of the Upper East Side. East Harlem is a cultural hub for latin food, and salsa music. Visitors can often see messaging in both Spanish and English and hear members speaking both languages in tandem. The Upper East Side similarly is filled with Kosher butcheries and synagogs.
My community is filled with working families and young professionals. Most people commute to work, either downtown or further uptown, accessing the Q or 4/5/6. In the morning, families are seen walking students to school and then heading to work themselves. Access to green spaces is a huge interest for most members of my community, folks are often seen partaking/volunteering at the 92nd st farmers markets on Sundays, or during community cleanups.
Map drawers should be aware of the economic differences between these bordering communities. The median household income for East Harlem was $34,000 in 2019, whereas the UES's median household income was between $100-250,000. These stark differences have resulted in gentrification occurring in median communities (Yorkville) and the slow displacement of East Harlem residents.
