Census Data Charts:

The school we elected to develop a program for is P.S.75 found in the Hunts Point area of the Bronx; it is located on 984 Faile Street.  The population of this community is predominantly Hispanic or Latino. As can be viewed below, a large portion of the Hispanic / Latino population is found in the ethnic makeup of students attending P.S. 75. We are serving a large population of minorities, which is common for the Bronx District areas

Ethnicity Data:  Total population 47,308 people.

In reference to gender, there is a fairly balanced percentage of male to female ratio in this community.  The majority of these individuals are between the ages of 16-62, which means that most parents in this community are young and can benefit from our program aiding their experience at parenting skills.   We did find that P.S. 75 has a larger male population when compared to the community itself.

Gender Data:  Total population 47,308 people.

A high percentage of parents in the 10459 community are separated or divorced, come from the poverty level, and are unemployed.
