Almost all of providence is Latino populated with the exception of the east side. Diversity in Rhode Island in general is INSANE. It’s one of the reasons why I love this place. To be completely truthful Providence In particular isn’t super heavy populated by Mexican Americans. Most of our Latino population in the city is Central American. There are definitely a lot of Mexicans but it definitely won’t be even remotely close to SoCal. That being said if you want heavy Latino presence the silver lake/west end area is what you’re looking for. It’s where I grew up and currently reside. It’s a total mix here of Latinos along with other races and ethnicities. But as sad as it is, wherever many Latin migrants live along with it being an urban area, it’s not the prettiest area or crime free. But besides very minor petty crimes I believe that the silver lake area that borders cranston (another local city) is very safe. Lived here since 2016 and have 0 complaints other than someone going in my car one time and stealing a pair of prescription glasses and chuck e cheese tickets lol literally other than that I’ve been blessed to live away from most of the drama that goes on in the city.
