In 1892, Roseland was annexed by Chicago. The Roseland neighborhood evolved into a fairly cosmopolitan community comprised of people from many cultural, ethnic, and racial origins. In 1960, after years of decline due to suburbanization, the city government decided to demolish most of the remaining housing developments and replace them with parks and public facilities. This effort is still ongoing today. The population of Roseland is about 95% black or African American, 3% white, and less than 1% Hispanic or Latino. About 85% of residents are living below the poverty line, while 15% have college degrees. Crime is extremely high in Roseland - in 2007, there were over 500 homicides here, making it one of the deadliest neighborhoods in Chicago. There are two schools in Roseland: Roseland Community Academy and Theodore R. Harris Elementary School. Both are operated by the Chicago Public Schools system. Theodore R. Harris is located in the center of the neighborhood and has an enrollment of approximately 400 students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. Roseland Community Academy serves students from sixth through eighth grade and has an enrollment of about 300 students. Crime and violence are the main obstacles preventing residents of Roseland from enjoying a good quality of life.
