Housing stock reflects decades of urban renewal — a mix of NYCHA towers, community-developed low-rise affordable housing, and surviving pre-war tenements. The Charlotte Street area, once a symbol of urban blight after President Carter's 1977 visit, was redeveloped into single-family homes and small apartment buildings in the 1980s. The neighborhood remains predominantly Latino with a significant African-American population.
