Washington heights is a neighborhood that is located in the uppermost part of the manhattan borough. While the majority of the population is Hispanic there are in fact 2.5% identify as Asian,7.9%identifying as black, and 19.2% identify as white. A drastic problem that has been occurring is the effects of the chaos of drugs and their users. Such things as needles on the floors, and groceries empty because drug users have robbed almost every item to sell for drugs, families, and friends not feeling safe at night because drug users might threaten them or rob them are constant occurrences that Washington heights citizens are experiencing.
