Backstory and Context

As a graduate of St. Bede and a member of the community I have seen the change first hand. I have seen the crime rise in the neighborhood and many events having to be cancelled due to the changes. St. Bede used to have a carnival every year but it had to be discontinued, although never confirmed most parishioners believe it is because of the crime and violence that would ensue due to the crowd it would attract.

Before I started this research I had a hunch that the demographics of the neighborhood was changing. After my research I concluded that the neighborhood is not changing, but has already changed. I used SchoolDigger.com to find the demographics and how they have changed in the time a child goes from kindergarten to graduating high school.

The results shocked me, and I am sure the results will shock anyone who previously attended the school or lived in the neighborhood.
