I was interested in comparing geographical racial divisions in Charlestown with how old the houses were and how rich the residents were. Poorer residents tend to live in newer buildings (apartment blocks as opposed to red-brick houses) and tend to be of non-white origin. Here I’ve attached the map that shows how the older houses are on the left (on this map) side of the area.

This was an advertisement for a neighborhood block party on Chestnut street in Charlestown, surrounded by a number of seasonal decorations. I believe that the fact that this is the 10th annual event of this kind, and encourages people to make friends in the neighborhood, indicates that the area is quite welcoming to its immediate residents at least. Of course, the best way to gauge this would be to attend such a neighborhood party.
