The Advocate typically aims to highlight our neighborhood’s personality by way of narratives, news and profiles, and that will continue — around here, the well of fascinating finds is bottomless. But on the next few pages, numbers, percentages and statistics tell the story of who we are, where we live, what struggles we face.

Culture

WE BROKE our neighborhood down to its most simplistic terms: How many we are, by sex and race, our collective education level, our household income and other data drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau (2010 being the most recent year available) and the American Community Study of 2015. To find these numbers, we pulled from three of the zip codes the Oak Cliff Advocate covers: 75224, 75208, 75211.

137,351

44,977 are foreign-born

29.4

36.4% of men and 30.8% of women have below a 9th-grade education level in the 75211

27.2% live below the federal poverty limit
