These citations seem a bit tone def — as though churches, rec centers and cheap bodegas (vs public space, healthy food options, and transit) are central to the development of a thriving neighborhood. The 63% number is kind of misleading as I assume it's a reference to median incomes and relates to the subsidized housing that's being built there in mass.
I am, however, glad to see the neighborhood fill up with families and flourish.
