Up-and-Coming Town

Like many of America's inner-ring suburbs, Brooklyn Center proliferated during the postwar years. The population of the Twin Cities region was booming, and middle-class whites who wanted to leave behind the neighborhoods of North Minneapolis — where the city's Black population was increasingly concentrated — often chose this small suburb just across the city border to the north. Affordable home prices and easy commutes — no more than 20 minutes to drive to the downtowns of Minneapolis or St. Paul — have long made Brooklyn Center attractive to middle-class families.
