Metcalfe Park is an area bordered by Center Street on the north, North Avenue
on the south, 20th Street on the east, and 35th Street on the west. Metcalfe
Park is considered one of Milwaukee's poorest and most dangerous neighborhoods.
The poverty rate for the neighborhood and adjoining areas exceeds 60%. The
national media has also reported on Metcalfe Park, after a mob beating left
Charlie Young, Jr. dead. Over 150 murders have occurred in this area in the past
decade. It's reputation aside, Metcalfe park is making efforts to improve
itself. New commercial and residential development has sprung up on North
Avenue. The area, which is poor but still intact and populated, has many
community groups to help improve the image and conditions in Metcalfe Park.
