About Albany Park Community Center
Albany Park's story of transformation is truly remarkable. What was once an upper-working class Jewish neighborhood in the early 1960's is now one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the US. The population has changed significantly, with many poverty-level and low-income working class residents coming from a variety of backgrounds. The foreign-born residents come predominantly from Latin America, but also from the Philippines, India, Korea, Cambodia, Somalia, the Former Yugoslavia, Romania, Pakistan and the Middle East. With over 40 different languages being spoken in its public schools, Albany Park is a vibrant and diverse community.
