Introduction
Jamaica, Queens, is a middle-class neighbourhood in the Queen borough in New York, and has seen a significant increase in investment recently. A majority of the people of Jamaica are from Hispanic or Latino races, which comprise 38.7% of the population. According to the last census, the population of Jamaica had been 53, 751 (Hagopian et al.). This usually meant that a large number of people lived in close quarters, which could lead to a lot of issues.
