But that neighborhood is changing yet again. Even as the city’s Latino population has grown, the 50 square blocks around the Mosqueda home — once 65 percent Latino — have lost more than 2,400 Latino residents since 2000, according to Census Bureau data. San Francisco’s tech boom is reshaping communities, family by family, business by business, block by block — few as intensely as the block of 24th Street between Folsom and Shotwell, near the Mosqueda home.

A new group of settlers is arriving on 24th Street, known to some as El Corazón de la Misión, the heart of the Mission. Wealthier than previous residents, they are choosing the Mission’s bustling cultural mosaic over the city’s stodgier, old-money neighborhoods and the faceless suburbs of Silicon Valley.

Over eight months interviewing residents and merchants whose lives revolve around the block, The Chronicle observed a situation more nuanced than the pat narrative of rich newcomers forcing out longtime residents.
