Humboldt is having a very very tough summer for gang violence. I know white girls that are five foot nothing that get a long fine there as long as you mind your own business and stay alert but even this morning at 430am an 18 year old kid was found shot multiple times (in his head and torso) in his car that had wrecked along Western Ave. There is a very serious gang war going on in that neighborhood and so far the CPD are powerless against it, or clueless.

Humboldt Park is an awkward community. It began as a largely Puerto Rican migrant community, which is still dominant, but seems to be changing. Humboldt Park is home to a black community and a slowly growing and recently established White community. In my opinion, you’d certainly be fine but the answer could vary depending on who you ask. I have a friend (a girl) who lives there and she carries two cans of pepper spray with her at all times. To be honest though, she is slightly paranoid. But I say say go for it! Humboldt Park is very safe compared to many Chicago communities and it is improving slowly so I don’t see why you shouldn’t live there.
