Washington Park is a predominately African-American and Southeast-Asian-American neighborhood bordering Metcalfe Park.
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.
