| East San Jose refers to the eastern region of the city of San Jose, California. It’s bordered by the Diablo Range to the east and south, Coyote Creek to the west, and Mabury Road to the north. The area is divided into two major districts: Alum Rock and Evergreen. East San Jose is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in San Jose, with a population of approximately 102,000. | |
| Alum Rock and Evergreen are further broken down into neighborhoods like Little Saigon, Mayfair, King & Story, East Foothills, Silver Creek Valley, and Meadowfair. Mayfair, in the Alum Rock district, is a historic hub of Chicano/Mexican-American culture. It’s closely tied to civil rights legend César Chávez, who lived here and began his activism at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church. Little Saigon, another neighborhood in Alum Rock, is the heart of San Jose’s vibrant Vietnamese-American community. The area includes Story Road, Grand Century Mall, and is officially recognized as “Little Saigon.” | |
