The neighborhood
One of the older districts in Mid-Wilshire, Arlington Heights is part of West Adams, Los Angeles. Arlington Heights was until recently a predominantly upper-middle-class, African-American area. Today, like neighboring Jefferson Park and West Adams, it has become largely Latino, as many African-Americans have emigrated into suburban communities in the Antelope Valley, and San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Nevertheless, Arlington Heights still has a sizeable African American population.
The area is home to many public and private schools.
