Southeast San Diego

Southeast San Diego has been defined as the portion of San Diego which lies south of State Route 94 Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway, east of Interstate 5, and north of State Route 54. Barrio Logan, which lies west of Interstate 5, is often included within Southeast San Diego as well. Southeast San Diego borders the cities of National City to the south and Lemon Grove to the northeast, as well as the unincorporated communities of Spring Valley to the east and Bonita to the southeast.

The areas southeast of downtown San Diego include portions of Council Districts 4, 8 and 9 (Encanto Neighborhoods, Skyline-Paradise Hills, and Southeastern respectively). A few neighborhoods in Central San Diego directly east of downtown and south of the Martin Luther King Jr. Freeway have long been considered part of Southeast San Diego by locals, and are under the Southeastern Planning Area, including Sherman Heights, Logan Heights, Grant Hill, Memorial, and Stockton{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiego.gov/planning/community/profiles|title="Community Profiles"|publisher=City of San Diego|access-date=2020-11-21}} Though Barrio Logan belongs to its own Community Planning Area, the neighborhood has historically been referred to officially as "Western Southeast San Diego" and is still widely considered as part of Southeast San Diego locally and politically.{{cite web|url= https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/barrio_logan_western_southeast_survey_1980.pdf|title=Barrio Logan Western Southeast Survey|publisher=City of San Diego|access-date=2020-11-18}}{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/legacy/planning/community/cpu/barriologan/pdf/barrio_logan_cpu_full_090313.pdf|title="Barrio Logan Community Plan and Local Coastal Program Draft"|publisher=City of San Diego|date=2013-09-03|access-date=2020-11-21}}{{cite web|url=http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/history/page2.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041209214836/http://www.chicanoparksandiego.com/history/page2.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=December 9, 2004|title=Murals Appear in Chicano Park|publisher=The History of Chicano Park|access-date=2020-11-25}}

Southeast San Diego is widely viewed as one of the most diverse areas in the city, inhabited most visibly by Latinos, African-Americans, and Filipinos. Estimates based on the neighborhoods spanning the 92102, 92113, 92114, and 92139 ZIP codes of Southeast San Diego put the population at roughly 195,000 people over an area of {{convert|21.2|sqmi|km2}}, placing the area's population density at 9,285.7/sq mi (3,565.5/km²).{{cite web|url=http://www.city-data.com/zips/92102.html

Southcrest, for example is 89.5% Latino.{{cite web|url=https://statisticalatlas.com/neighborhood/California/San-Diego/Southcrest/Race-and-Ethnicity|title="Race and Ethnicity in Southcrest, San Diego, California"|publisher=Statistical Analysis|access-date=2020-11-21}}

In nearby Skyline, African-Americans make up 31.6% of the neighborhood's population, a much higher than average demographic make-up in comparison to other neighborhoods in the area.

Lastly, in Bay Terraces and bordering Paradise Hills, there is a significantly high Asian-Pacific Islander (predominantly Filipino) population of 44.3% and 32.9%, respectively.

The area of Barrio Logan, for example, had been first settled by Mexicans arriving in the 1890s, followed soon after by refugees fleeing the violence of the Mexican Revolution and the poor Mexican economy between 1910 and 1920.{{cite web|url=http://history.sandiego.edu/gen/local/logan/barrio.com/index.html|title=Barrio Logan|access-date=2007-11-17|archive-date=May 28, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070528023000/http://history.sandiego.edu/gen/local/logan/barrio.com/index.html|url-status=dead}} Barrio Logan is predominantly Latino and is home to Chicano Park. Though located near the City's Central core, it has long been considered part of Southeast San Diego, being directly southeast of downtown, and with previous historical records labeling it as part of "Western Southeast San Diego."{{cite web|url= https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/barrio_logan_western_southeast_survey_1980.pdf|title=Barrio Logan Western Southeast Survey|publisher=City of San Diego|access-date=2020-11-18}}

Prior to "white flight" in the 1960s and early 1970s, many neighborhoods in Southeast San Diego were subject to discriminatory restrictive covenants, a problem faced by African-Americans like former Councilman and Deputy Mayor George Stevens, who was denied the opportunity to purchase a house in the Skyline Hills from a white realtor. Presently, much of the Skyline Hills, as well as other Encanto neighborhoods such as Emerald Hills, Lincoln Park, Mountain View, O'Farrell, South Encanto, and Valencia Park, have a substantial African-American population.

With the great influx of Filipino immigrants joining the United States Navy,{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiegohistory.org/journal/76summer/migrants.htm|title=Journal of San Diego History|access-date=2007-11-17}} especially from the Vietnam War era on to the 1990s, many Filipinos inhabited the Southeast San Diego neighborhoods of Alta Vista, Bay Terraces, Paradise Hills, Shelltown, Skyline Hills, and Valencia Park, both for the relatively affordable housing prices and its close proximity to Naval Base San Diego.{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2007/may/03/their-own-paradise/|title=San Diego Reader - Their Own Paradise|access-date=2011-07-23}} During the 1980s, in the interest of urban renewal, an unused tract of land (formerly a canyon) between the Skyline and Paradise Hills neighborhoods underwent development. This tract would eventually become Bay Terraces. The notion of a new subdivision built directly triangulated in what were already considered high-crime areas repelled the great majority of home-buyers. The homes were also priced out of the range of typical residents of the area and most went unsold or, in some cases, unbuilt. Federal subsidies and economic programs were then employed to assist in completing and populating the subdivision. As a result, military personnel, Filipino immigrants with military ties, and low-income families were able to secure loans to buy the new homes in the area. The federally funded recovery project was only marginally successful, however, as several large portions of the development stood partially constructed and abandoned for nearly twenty years, the most noticeable example at the intersection of Skyline Dr. and Woodman Ave.{{cite book|author=Leland Fetzer|title=San Diego County Place Names, A to Z|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AOVyQyWDyqUC&pg=PA9|year=2005|publisher=Sunbelt Publications, Inc.|isbn=978-0-932653-73-4|page=9}}

Additionally, enlisted military personnel (ranks E-1 to E-6) and their families occupy the Bayview Hills, a sprawling military housing complex operated by Lincoln Military Housing. This community of townhouse-style homes occupy a significant tract north of Paradise Hills adjacent to National City.{{cite web|url=http://www.lincolnmilitary.com/sandiego/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=63|title=Lincoln Military - San Diego - Bayview Hills|access-date=2007-11-18}} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}

Demographics from the remaining senior public high schools in the area, Samuel F. B. Morse High School in the Skyline neighborhood and Lincoln High School in Lincoln Park, provide unique snapshot samples of the area's diversity, especially around Free-Reduced Lunch eligibility, where roughly 80% (for Morse) and 85% (for Lincoln) of the respective student bodies were eligible, a figure that reflects the working-class nature of the area.{{cite web|url=https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/3432005526/school.aspx|title=Morse High School in San Diego|publisher=School Digger|access-date=2020-11-26}}{{cite web|url=https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/3432011939/school.aspx#:~:text=SchoolDigger%20will%20resume%20updating%20its,scores%20are%20released%20in%202021.&text=Compare%20Details%20In%202019%2C%20Lincoln,San%20Diego%20Unified%20School%20District.|title=Lincoln High School in San Diego|publisher=School Digger|access-date=2020-11-26}}

Southeast San Diego had long struggled with an image problem plagued by street gangs, drug dealing, assaults, and homicide throughout its communities.{{cite web|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041212/news_mz1e12street.html|title=On the street. Fighting crime in some of San Diego's toughest neighborhoods|access-date=2007-11-22}} In 1992, Councilman George Stevens campaigned against any official designation of the area as "Southeast San Diego" since the name labeled the area in an entirely negative light.

The San Diego Police Department's Southeastern Division includes some of the city's peak crime areas including the neighborhoods of Encanto, Paradise Hills, Lincoln Park, Chollas View, Skyline, Shelltown, and Southcrest. Many of the inhabitants in these neighborhoods are working class or lower-income, and a typical sight that is evident throughout Southeast San Diego are homes outfitted with iron bars over the ground-floor windows and doors, and in many cases, cast-iron gates and chain-link fences guarding driveways, a reflection of the perceived need for security in these high-crime urban neighborhoods.

Southeast San Diego is home to some of the deadliest zip codes in the County.{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiegomagazine.com/features/its-a-war-zone-down-here/article_c130aff0-2574-5a55-a76f-01c217121eee.html|title="It's a War Zone Down Here." An exploration of the significantly high murder rates in Southeast San Diego|author=Good, Dave|publisher=San Diego Magazine|date=2012-02-17|access-date=2020-01-02}} In 1990, for example, San Diego registered 135 homicides, with 100 occurring south of Interstate 8 and concentrated in Barrio Logan and Southeast San Diego, along with City Heights and South San Diego.{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/1991/may/02/cover-dangerous-part-san-diego/|title=The most dangerous part of San Diego|author=Kreuger, Paul|publisher=San Diego Reader|date=1991-05-02|access-date=2020-01-02}}

Although crime has gone down citywide over the years, shootings are still a regular occurrence throughout Southeast San Diego, and the area continues to see a disproportionate number of homicides in relation to the rest of the city.{{cite web|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050522/news_1m22violence.html|title=Taking a stand against violence, Shootings prompt call for residents to unite|access-date=2007-11-22}} Additionally, many crimes in the area are not reported to the police which makes it difficult to give a completely accurate assessment on crime statistics in Southeast San Diego. Over the last few years, statistics from the San Diego Police Department show that about half of all homicides in the whole city had been accounted for in southeastern San Diego neighborhoods (covered by both the Central and Southeastern Districts), a substantial figure considering Southeast San Diego's relatively small geographic size and population in relation to the rest of the city.{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiego.gov/police/stats/index.shtml|title=Crime Statistics/Maps, Police Department|access-date=2007-11-22|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071031004644/http://www.sandiego.gov/police/stats/index.shtml|archive-date=2007-10-31}} For example, in 2004, of the 62 homicides in the City of San Diego, 32 of them (roughly 16.4 murders per 100,000 residents or three times the national average of 5.5 murders per 100,000 for that year){{cite web|url=http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/tables/totalstab.htm |title=Bureau of Justice Statistics Homicide Trends in the United States |access-date=2008-04-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080413235450/http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/tables/totalstab.htm |archive-date=2008-04-13 |url-status=dead }} had been accounted for in sixteen southeastern San Diego neighborhoods, from Barrio Logan to Lomita Village.{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiego.gov/police/pdf/jandec04actual.pdf|title=City of San Diego Actual Crimes January to December 2004|access-date=2007-11-22}} In comparison, the northern San Diego suburb of Mira Mesa, which covers a substantial geographical area sizeable to Southeast San Diego's, {{convert|21.4|sqmi|km2|sigfig=2}} to Southeast San Diego's {{convert|21.2|sqmi|km2|sigfig=2}},{{cite web|url=http://www.city-data.com/zips/92126.html/|title=92126 Zip Code Detailed Profile|access-date=2007-11-22}}{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiego.gov/neighborhoods-map/|title=City of San Diego Neighborhoods Map|access-date=2007-11-22|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071031003821/http://www.sandiego.gov/neighborhoods-map/|archive-date=2007-10-31}}{{cite web|url=http://www.sandiego.gov/neighborhoods-map/northeast.shtml |title=City of San Diego Northeastern Neighborhoods Map |access-date=2007-11-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071031032953/http://www.sandiego.gov/neighborhoods-map/northeast.shtml |archive-date=2007-10-31 |url-status=dead }} had no homicides for that year. More recent figures show that in 2019, of the 50 homicides in the City of San Diego, 20 of those occurred in seven Southeast San Diego neighborhoods, with Paradise Hills leading all city neighborhoods with 7 murders (a rate of 41.91 murders per 100,000 people), followed by Logan Heights with 5 (34.77 murders per 100,000 people).{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiego.gov/sites/default/files/2019cumneighborhood.pdf|title=UCR Crimes by GeoArea|date=January–December 2019|publisher=San Diego Police Department|access-date=2020-01-02}}

The intersection of Euclid Avenue and Imperial Avenue in Lincoln Park has been given the nickname "The Four Corners of Death" due to the large number of homicides which have occurred on and around it. Of the county's estimated 88 gangs, at least 50 operate within a few miles of this intersection.{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiegomagazine.com/features/its-a-war-zone-down-here/article_c130aff0-2574-5a55-a76f-01c217121eee.html|title="It's a War Zone Down Here."

Sections of Bay Terraces recorded the greatest percentage increase in violent crimes during a five-year period reviewed by the San Diego Union-Tribune. The census block, from Paradise Valley Road to just south of Shadyglade Lane along South Meadowbrook Drive saw violent crime reports increase 450 percent. For the entire five-year period, there were 51 reported violent crimes, or about one every five weeks in just those few blocks alone.{{cite web|url=https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2019-03-28/bay-terraces-symptoms-of-a-greater-problem|title=Bay Terraces: Symptoms of a greater problem|publisher=San Diego Union-Tribune|date=2019-03-28|access-date=2020-11-17}}

According to a study by Rand Corporation, homicides in Southeast San Diego share similar demographic characteristics with those in the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Division (which serves South Central Los Angeles), though despite having 29 gangs appear in the San Diego Police Department's Southeast Division's murder files, only a handful of gangs appear responsible for the majority of gun violence that has occurred.{{cite web|url=https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/working_papers/2004/RAND_WR142.pdf|title=Homicide in San Diego - A Case Study Analysis|publisher=RAND Corporation|date=2004-03-01|access-date=2020-11-21}}

The rash of violence in Southeast San Diego had been met with community outrage over the years and prompted a series of anti-violence marches and rallies. In 2005, as a response to the spike in violence in the area, hundreds of middle school students took part in an anti-violence rally from the Lincoln Park area to Gompers Park in Chollas View, echoing chants of "Peace in Southeast" as they marched.{{cite web|url=http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20050409/news_7m9march.html

Southeast San Diego is served primarily by the San Diego Unified School District, along with some charter and private schools.

Based on surveys area principals conducted with parents, violence is a big part of the reason why 70 percent of southeastern San Diego families opt for charters or schools in other neighborhoods.{{cite web|url=https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/education/in-search-of-safe-harbor-parents-look-beyond-neighborhood-schools/|title=In Search of Safe Harbor, Parents Look Beyond Neighborhood Schools|publisher=Voice of San Diego|date=2016-12-14|access-date=2020-11-25}}

Many students in Southeast San Diego have taken advantage of San Diego Unified School District's Voluntary Enrollment Exchange Program (VEEP), and have opted to be bused to high schools in San Diego's more affluent northern suburban neighborhoods,.{{cite web|url=http://www.sandi.net/enrollmentoptions/oeoveep.html|title=VEEP Information|access-date=2007-11-17|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071210144048/http://sandi.net/enrollmentoptions/oeoveep.html|archive-date=2007-12-10}} Depending on their VEEP Allied School Pattern, a high school student, for example, may be voluntarily bused to Mira Mesa High School, Mission Bay High School, Scripps Ranch High School, Canyon Hills High School, and University City High School.{{cite web|url=http://www.sandi.net/enrollmentoptions/veep/07_08_VEEP_AlliedPatterns.pdf|title=2007–2008 VEEP Allied Patterns|access-date=2007-11-17|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080502012726/http://sandi.net/enrollmentoptions/veep/07_08_VEEP_AlliedPatterns.pdf|archive-date=2008-05-02}}
