Northeast Los Angeles

Traditionally a heavily Latino and working-class part of the city, Northeast Los Angeles has undergone gentrification starting in the 2000s.

[2] With the influx of young professionals, Northeast Los Angeles has gained attention for its hipster culture and a new wave of commercial development; however, increasing housing prices have caused tensions with long-time residents.

[2] According to the Mapping L.A. survey of the Los Angeles Times, Northeast Los Angeles consists of a 17.18 sq mi (44.5 km2) region bounded on the south and west by the Interstate 5, the north by the cities of Glendale and Pasadena, and bounded on the east by the Arroyo Seco Parkway.

The racial and ethnic breakdown was Latino, 64%, White, 16.7%, Asian, 16.5%; Black, 1.8%, Native American 0.5%, Pacific Islander 0.4%, and Other, 0.8%.

The Metro A Line light rail's four stations (Lincoln/Cypress, Heritage Square, Southwest Museum, and Highland Park) connect Northeast Los Angeles with Downtown and Pasadena.
