==Land use and terrain==
*[[Body therapy]] -- [[Talk:Body therapy|talk]]
Highbridge is dominated by 5 and 6-story tenement buildings, older multi-unit homes, vacant lots, and newly constructed subsidized attached multi-unit townhouses and apartment buildings. A significant percentage of the original housing stock was structurally damaged by arson and eventually razed by the city. The total land area is roughly one square mile. The terrain is elevated and very hilly. Stair streets connect areas located at different elevations.

*[[David Guinan]] -- [[Talk:David Guinan|talk]]
Many social problems associated with poverty from crime to drug addiction have plagued the area for some time. Despite crime declines versus their peaks during the crack and heroin epidemics violent crime continues to be a serious problem in the community. <ref name=44th>[http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/downloads/pdf/crime_statistics/cs044pct.pdf 44th Precinct CompStat Report]</ref> Highbridge has significantly higher drop out rates and incidents of violence in its schools.<ref >[http://www.gothamgazette.com/article/fea/20060320/202/1792 NYC Dropout Rates]</ref> Students must pass through metal detectors and swipe ID cards to enter the buildings. Reminiscent a prison environment which many feel encourages bad behavior. Other problems in local schools include low test scores and high truancy rates. Drug addiction is also a serious problem in the community. Due to the lucrative drug trade in the area many addicted reside in the community. Peer pressure among children who come from broken homes contributes to the high rate of usage. Many households in the area are headed by a single mother which contributes to the high poverty rate.<ref>[http://www.lehman.cuny.edu/deannss/bronxdatactr/discover/bxtext.htm Bronx Census Data Analysis]</ref> Many of whom had their children at a very young age and unfortunately could not provide for their children. Many of the families living in Highbridge have been in poverty for generations. The incarceration rate in the area is also very high.<ref>[http://www.wnyc.org/blog/lehrer/archives/archive/NYC%20Analysis-9%20copy2.gif NYC Prison Expenditure]</ref> Many if not most males in the community have been arrested at some point in their lives. This has a direct correlation to aggressive policing tactics including "sweeps" due to the area's high crime rate. Highbridge is home to a significant number of inmates currently held in New York state prison and jail facilities.

==Urban renewal==
*[[Ehud Bleiberg]] -- [[Talk:Ehud Bleiberg|talk]]
After a wave of arson ravaged the low income communities of New York City throughout the 1970s, many if not most residential structures in Highbridge were left seriously damaged or destroyed. The city began to rehabilitate many formally abandoned tenement style apartment buildings and designate them low income housing beginning in the late 1970s. Also many subsidized attached multi-unit townhouses and newly constructed apartment buildings have been or are being built on vacant lots across across the neighborhood.
