Neighborhoods in the 1930s varied widely depending on location, but many were characterized by close-knit communities where neighbors looked out for each other. These neighborhoods often had distinct cultural identities and social structures. However, economic hardship during the Great Depression affected many neighborhoods, leading to high levels of poverty and unemployment.
Industrialization led to the growth of cities and created new neighborhoods near factories to accommodate the increasing urban population. These neighborhoods often became crowded and polluted due to the proximity to industrial activities. As a result, there was a shift in social dynamics, with a mix of different social classes living in close proximity in these industrial neighborhoods.
In the 1930s, Alabama society was deeply segregated, with Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation. The Great Depression greatly impacted the state, leading to economic hardship and high unemployment rates. Agriculture was a dominant industry, with cotton being a major crop, and many rural Alabamians lived in poverty.
This is called racial integration or desegregation, where people of all races are included and treated equally in various social settings such as neighborhoods, schools, parks, and facilities.
Settling in ethnic neighborhoods offered immigrants a sense of community and belonging, access to familiar foods, language, and traditions, as well as mutual support networks. These neighborhoods provided a safe space for new arrivals to navigate their new environment while preserving their cultural heritage. Additionally, living among people with similar backgrounds helped ease the transition to a new country.
Lower classes often live in affordable housing options such as apartments, subsidized housing, or low-income neighborhoods with lower property values. These areas may have limited access to resources and opportunities compared to more affluent neighborhoods.
Homes in the 1930s varied, just like they are today. They were often frame houses with wood siding. Some did not have inside bathrooms, and more than one bathroom was not common. They did have kitchens. Neighborhoods in cities were part of the city, outside of the business district. It was common for neighborhoods to be segregated by race and economics. City blocks had alleys behind the houses.

The Realtors Koenig & Strey have been using pictures of Chicago neighborhoods as part of their latest advertising campaign. All the photos they have used are copyrighted by the Chicago Historical Society. They would probably be your best resource. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ndlpcoop/ichihtml/ The above site is really helpful. It has tons of photos from Chicago's neighborhoods and others. Check it out. Good Luck... Damian Plaza
