  • Gulfton is a community in Southwest Houston, Texas, United States that includes a 3.2 sq mi (8.3 km2) group of apartment complexes that primarily house refugee and immigrant populations. It is located between the 610 Loop and Beltway 8, west of the City of Bellaire, southeast of Interstate 69/U.S. Highway 59, and north of Bellaire Boulevard. In the 1960s and 1970s Gulfton experienced rapid development, with new apartment complexes built for young individuals from the Northeast and Midwest United States. They came to work in the oil industry during the 1970s oil boom. In the 1980s, as the economy declined, existing tenants left, resulting in a significant drop in occupancy rates in the apartment complexes and forcing many complexes into bankruptcy and foreclosure. Owners marketed the empty units to newly arrived immigrants and Gulfton became a predominantly immigrant community. Beginning in the 1980s Gulfton's crime rate increased and schools were increasingly overwhelmed with excess students. "Houstonians" (Houston citizens) nicknamed the community the "Gulfton Ghetto." The city of Houston responded to the sudden demographic shifts by increasing police presence, and the school district responded by opening more schools to handle the influx of students. After the 1980s demographic and socioeconomic transitions, Gulfton gained a community college campus, two additional elementary schools, added public bus routes, a park, a community center, a public library, and a juvenile detention facility. By 2000 Gulfton was the most densely populated community in Houston, with 71 percent Hispanic residents, including many recent immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Although traditionally a Salvadoran and Mexican neighborhood, many immigrants began coming from different Latin-American countries, particularly from Venezuela, Honduras, Cuba, Guatemala and Colombia. There are also Americas citizens from other states and territories like Puerto Rico. (en)
  • Gulfton es un barrio en el suroeste de la ciudad de Houston en el estado de Texas (Estados Unidos). Tiene una superficie de 8,3 km² (3,2 millas cuadradas) e incluye un grupo de complejos de apartamentos con una población predominantemente hispanohablante con muchos inmigrantes.​ Se encuentra afuera de la carretera de circunvalación 610 y adentro de la carretera 8, al oeste de la ciudad de Bellaire, al este y al sur de la carretera 59, y al norte de Bellaire Boulevard. En las décadas de 1960 y 1970 Gulfton se desarrolló, durante una era de prosperidad debida al aumento de precios del petróleo, con nuevos complejos de apartamentos construidos para atraer personas solteras y jóvenes que vinieron del Noreste y el Medio Oeste de Estados Unidos para trabajar en la industria petrolera. En la década de 1980, la economía disminuyó y salieron los habitantes del barrio, con la consecuencia de quiebra y ejecución hipotecaria para los complejos. Después los dueños de los complejos comercializaron los complejos a los inmigrantes nuevos y transformaron Gulfton en una comunidad inmigrante.​ En la década de 1980, creció la delincuencia y los colegios sufrieron de una alta población de estudiantes. La comunidad recibió el apodo «Gulfton Ghetto» (gueto de Gulfton). La ciudad de Houston reaccionó con el aumento en la presencia de la policía y el aumento en el número de colegios que sirve la zona. En 2000, Gulfton tenía una población de 71 % latinoamericanos, que incluye muchos inmigrantes recientes de México y América Central, y fue una de las comunidades de población más densa en Houston. En la década de 1980 y después la comunidad ganó un campus del colegio comunitario (community college), dos escuelas primarias más, más rutas de autobús, una parque y centro de la comunidad, una biblioteca pública, un centro de detención de menores, y varios lugares de esparcimiento.
