Is the Hispanic community in Chicago mostly unaffected by violent crime? (activity, office)

Those are in some cases rough neighborhoods but in the pantheon of dangerous Chicago neighborhoods they are not even comtenders.

And why are you comparing these neighborhoods to areas like englewood and garfield park? According to your logic any neighborhood that doesnt have as many killings as say Austin or Englewood, that means they arnt dangerous? Areas like Austin and Englewood arnt dangerous, they are completely ****. The worst of the worst. Just because an area isnt the worst of the worst doesnt mean it cant be violent or dangerous, you do understand that right? How are you really going to sit there and say eh, 32 homicides in less than two years in an area of 45,000 doesnt seem too bad.. Lol are you kidding me? You must have lived through the Holocaust if that isnt a lot of death to you.. One homicide in a neighborhood is one too many...

Wow. Nothing really gets through to you does it? What you're saying is like the same thing as saying the sears tower isnt tall because there are other buildings taller. Just because there are areas worse than the ones im talking about doesnt mean that area isnt dangerous. The list you are linking me to is just ranking Chicago neighborhoods from most violent to least violent. The neighborhoods I am talking about are lower on the list because their not AS dangerous (key word: as) as the other neighborhoods, that still doesnt mean they are not dangerous! What dont you understand? This thread is talking about predom. Hispanic areas effected by violent crime. The areas I stated are indeed effected by violent crime. But then here you come and say "no those areas arnt violent when compared to areas like Englewood or Austin." No, their just not AS violent. Still violent, but not as violent. Like I just want to see you say it. Say Belmont Cragin and Brighton Park arnt dangerous areas and tell that to the people that live there too.

Belmont Cragin with a murder rate of 12.8 per 100,000 is not dangerous by big city standards and I'm happy to say that to the one person I know who lives there.

North Park - 15.3? What? Three times the homicide rate of Uptown? It is the most boring neighborhood in the city.

I don’t know what you want people to say. Yes, Brighton Park is dangerous. It’s not even in the the top 20ish most dangerous neighborhoods.

You are right in that the answer to the original question is in some cases no, it is not unaffected. You are wrong in the sense that comparing it to the Gold Standards of what is considered a dangerous Chicago neighborhood, they are not even close to the same league.

So pretty much what I'm getting in this thread, to put it into perspective for myself, is that for the most part the Latino "hood" areas in Chicago are pretty much like any regular hood area here in Texas, whereas neighborhoods like Englewood and etc. are pretty much on a whole nother level. So pretty much Latinos in Chicago definitely are affected by violent crime in Chicago but not astronomically so compared to Latinos in other American cities. As opposed to the majority black neighborhoods of Chicago that have a lot more violence when compared to black neighborhoods in other cities.

Which might be why in comparison to majority black neighborhoods in Chicago some people may say that violence isn't really a problem in Hispanic neighborhoods even though many times it can be. That's how I've come to make sense of it, would y'all say this is a good summary?

It does seem like gang culture is more present throughout Chicago compared to TX. TX has gangs but they're more about just making money than really banging like that.

I am not the one comparing neighborhoods 'to the gold standards of what is considered a dangerous chicago neighborhood.' What are you talking about?

I hope you do realize that you are looking at statistics from just this year alone right? A lot happens in a small amount of time. Deciding whether a neighborhood is dangerous or not based on less than a year of statistics is not sufficient enough. Belmont Cragin has had 24 homicides in less than two years. You're saying that isnt dangerous? Just for a little comparison, Uptown in the same time span had 15 homicides.

You are 100% right. I wouldnt say though that there is less violence in hispanic neighborhoods when compared to other cities. Just know that its there. Go on google videos and type in "latin pachucos" or "insane latin brothers", "latin stylers chicago", "Milwaukee Kings." All those gangs are in Belmont Cragin and theres more. I can go on and on. You'll see tons and tons of videos of guys recording themselves on their block or on a rival block.

Yes I mean Latin Kings did start in Chicago after all. How are black and brown relations in Chicago?

Would a Latino catch static in a black neighborhood and vice versa?

In Chicago, African-Americans and Hispanics typically get on well. I've never heard of, or read of, any conflict. I am sure you know that Chicago is very segregated. African-Americans and Hispanics are not traditionally politically aligned here, but they aren't in conflict either. African-American families are more established here, and my perception is that there is a much larger African-American middle class.
