Resident Safety
Similarly, population patterns have changed . The norm used to be largely white suburban communities with Hispanic and African -American central city cores, but this is no longer the case. Many of the traditional suburbs have a varied population like New York City. If you live in the tri-state area of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, or the western suburbs of Chicago, for example, your’re likely to encounter a mix of white, African American, Hispanic, and Asian-American residents, not to mention immigrants from Russia and other eastern European countries, as well as Arabs and Far East Indians. At the same time, many whites have moved back into core cities, as neighborhoods have become “gentrified.” All of this and more can have an impact of resident safety regardless if you are in the core of a city or the suburbs.
