The Westmont Avenue surrounding area has been historically dominated by hispanic and skinhead gangs in the past until recent gang injunctions as well as gangs being declared inactive or defunctional by LSPD Gang Unit. As of recently the area has been clear of most gang activity, although this has not stopped the crime in the area as many of the armed robberies, drug dealing and violence from Idlewood spills over to the surrounding streets. Most of the residents reside in the corner apartment block. Westmont Avenue itself has always been a hub for drug sales, mostly small time drug dealers and pushers from larger umbrella groups. Pressure from gangs in the surrounding neighborhoods such as Idlewood, West Idlewood and East Willowfield keeps much of the small time dealers at bay, though there have been rumblings about a local in the area operating on his own.

The neighborhood is mostly low-income and on government assistance. Much of the bigger problems such as drug use and gun violence has lowered due to the inactivity of the gangs, though this also leaves room for another growing presence to rise up and take control of the avenue. A few locals have even dubbed it the name "The Money Corner" after the self-named "West Money Team" or "West Money Gang", a small time clique of drug dealers forming to protect themselves. They claim neither blood or crip and operate on a simple basis of getting money and protecting their neighborhood.
