Humboldt Park is another communtiy that I happen to be semi surrounded by and i find it quite interesting. Here is what http://www.city-data.com/neighborhood/Humboldt-Park-Chicago-IL.html had to say about H.P. It si considered and area that is predominately Puerto Rican. Actually, today there are just as many African Americans as Puerto Ricans and a small percentage of others.
Know for Puerto Rican influence as celebration. Houses resturants of multiple ethnicities such as Mexican, Chinese, Columbian and Danish. And its name sake park is scattered with statues of famous German, Scandinavians and Poles(polish). http://encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/617.html
I think Wikipedia should incoporate more cultural influences outside of the well know Puerto Rican community, instead it seems to focus more on community organizations (gangs)
