I know one has Mexicans and the other has Puerto Ricans..
What are your opinions on both? I know both can be dangerous, (well IDK about Spanish Harlem, but overall I heard Harlem was crazy). But what about in terms of culture?

east harlem is both little mexico and puerto rico.
probably the only part of the bronx/harlem where mexicans surpass dominicans.
anywho never been to l.a but ill speak for east harlem.
east harlem is virtually all housing project. Even the high rise buildings that arent part of the nycha are still some low income style building.
lots of poor people. Honestly their are so many projects in the area that not even gentrification could change it unless they knocked them out or transformed them into condos.
east harlem is also a crime ridden area as well. Dont get your guards up as soon as you leave 96th street you might want to observe your surroundings.

East Harlem is more Mexican than anything. One of the highest Mexican population in the city.
You want a PR ghetto? Try Hunts Point in the South Bronx. Or Mott Haven, right next to it.

If I understand East Harlem is mostly poverty , low income , poor ,crime and drug addiction where East LA major gang problem.
Yes harlem is known to have a lot of row housing and low rise buildings . I don't think it many buildings 10 story or higher.

Much of East Harlem is among the poorest parts of Manhattan, with a median income of around $22 k / year. It also has the largest concentration of public housing in the city (though Brownsville and Lower Manhattan along the East River come close). 16,000 public housing apartments.
East Los Angeles looks a bit better off from this map:
The nothern part of East Harlem had a murder rate of 19.0 last year, the less poor southern part was only 6.8.
