Ethnic enclaves in Miami area

Little haiti is gentrifying and diversifying now. Other areas will too. But it won't happen overnight, nor without a bit of tension. That's normal from a historical standpoint.

And yes my irish ancestors lived in ethnic enclaves in NY and Chicago when they first arrive in the 1850s-1890s. Those ethnic enclaves were slums/tenaments at the time. Now they're home to million dollar condos with diverse populations. Progress? Of a sort.

Yes, but also back then these neighbourhoods were landing pads for immigrants and then rapidly diversified years after. I wouldn't know much about the NYC/CHI ones, but I know in Canadian cities, immigrants from let's say China, for example, would settle in their Chinatowns and then move elsewhere fairly recent after they arrived. Whereas Miami, the neighbourhoods haven't changed that much historically, except for what are the richer areas now. As for areas gentrifying, which I feel bad since the poor population in Miami is increasing and they're getting priced out, it's not a solution for the city. And as for diversifying, maybe it is, but at a super slow rate and usually, it's from the same region as well.

Wynwood is mostly gentrified by now. Puerto Ricans mostly live in the same areas as Dominicans, West Indians, and American blacks, spread through out the northern sections of Miami.

Not really a Peruvian neighborhood, but there was a visible community in the 90s in West Kendall. Now all that has pretty much disappeared.

It used to be Sweetwater. Not sure if that’s still the case nowadays.

I wonder what happened. Where did they move?
