A Portrait of Revere

Revere is one of the most diverse and immigrant-rich cities in Massachusetts, a longtime gateway community where roughly four in ten residents were born outside the United States. A dense coastal city on Boston’s doorstep, it has grown steadily as new arrivals from Latin America, North Africa, and beyond have settled along Broadway and Shirley Avenue.
