Even so,the Jewish community was simultaneously contending with intensified socio-economic divisions; these conditions were especially apparent in Beverly-Fairfax as better-off (and younger) residents increasingly migrated towards more affluent communities on the Westside and in the San Fernando Valley. Those who stayed within the Fairfax neighborhood — often because they lacked the means to uproot themselves and move elsewhere — were poorer than the city’s Jewish population at large.
