Edited sentence: As of late, there has been some ethnic conflict with the militant police forces of the Orthodox Jews in Passaic Park.In the old days, this neighborhood was predominately Eastern European, especially Hungarian.It is obvious from the aging on the Spanish-language shop awnings that nobody has spoken English here in a long time.Many immigrants, especially the Asian Indians and Eastern Europeans, leave Passaic less than a year after they have settled there.Much of Passaic today is visibly run-down and "sleazy", arguably worse off in many senses in terms of livability than anywhere else near it.Part of this comes from the city's permissive legislation on bars and "go-go clubs", which attracts many street people, starting a spiral of residents wanting to move out that leads to rapid urban decay.Passaic has a substantial Orthodox Jewish community in the relatively suburban southern neighborhood of Passaic Park, some of whom live in the large older houses and luxury apartment towers along Passaic Avenue.The community has lately expanded largely into the Delawanna section of Clifton.The north is very poor, and almost entirely Hispanic, mostly Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Peruvians, and Mexicans.There is a poor Asian Indian enclave along Broadway, with many Polish and Ukrainian immigrants near Van Houten Avenue who mostly live there for a short period of time and then move out to greener pastures further west and east
