Community Information

housing diversity environment air quality affordable

My community is made up of college students who attend CU Denver, CCD, MSU Denver, Mines, and a handful of other colleges. Down Park Avenue, my community gathers at Rockies games and Larimer Street bars. Closer to my front door, people in my community visit the Van Gough Exhibit. The lightrail is maybe a mile from my front door as well as a few parks tucked away in the neighborhoods down 38th St.

My community in the Sunnyside area of northwest Denver is made up of the Eurochristian ethnic group. The languages spoken in this area are English and Spanish. 62% of the population in Sunnyside is between the ages of 18 and 65.

My community is located near the greater Denver area. According to datausa, "The largest industries in Denver, CO are Professional, Scientific, & Technical Services (61,226 people), Health Care & Social Assistance (55,678 people), and Educational Services (39,248 people), and the highest paying industries are Mining, Quarrying, & Oil & Gas Extraction ($120,935), Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing & Hunting, & Mining ($100,905), and Utilities ($75,866)." Due to COVID, there is an unemployment predicament occurring statewide. The Van Gough Exhibit attracts a lot of tourists that do not belong to my community. My community's close proximity to the viaduct causes air quality problems.

The viaduct harms communities on both sides of I-25 so I would suggest these communities are gathered in the same lines. My community's greatest need is healthier air quality. My immediate community values tourism over the original inhabitants of the community. Thus, I believe that funding shall be focused on the enrichment of already existing communities rather than projected tourists. There is also hemorrhaging of housing available in the Denver area. Denver also suffers from low air quality due to wildfires.
