Tito Jackson (politician)

Last updated
  1. While Grove Hall is considered a neighborhood by the City of Boston, [8] it is not considered as one of the city's "main" neighborhoods. Dorchester and Roxbury are among the city's main neighborhoods (per the accounts of the city government [9] [10] and unofficial sources [11] ). Hence, why Jackson's residence in the Grove Hall neighborhood would also be considered to also be within either of the aforementioned "main" neighborhoods.
    Different government agencies and entities disagree as to whether Jackson's home is located in Roxbury or in Dorchester. As of 2017, the city's zoning and planning maps labeled the home as being in Roxbury, while its assessing department listed it as being in Dorchester. The United States Postal Service serves the Grove Hall neighborhood through its Dorchester post office, but had prior to 1967 served it through its Roxbury post office. [12]
    The question of which neighborhood (Roxbury or Dorchester) Jackson lived in garnered minor attention during his 2017 mayoral campaign, as Roxbury is considered the city's most well-known African American community, while Dorchester is a more white neighborhood from which the incumbent mayor that Jackson was challenging had hailed. At the time, local leaders commented on how the boundary lines between the neighborhoods are not strictly-defined. [12]
