Through a webcam you can observe Kensington, an area with a high crime rate. The area, predominantly populated by low-income and working-class people, has faced increasing poverty since the loss of industry in the 1960s during the deindustrialization process. Lack of investment and general neglect have led to widespread abandonment of parts of the area, prompting several mass protests by its residents.
Kensington is a neighborhood in Philadelphia that belongs to the lower northeast. As with all areas of the city, the lack of a clear official definition means that the boundaries of the area can change depending on the source and cause disputes among local residents.
