For me, check cashing shops are a <i>huge</i> sign I&#x27;m in a poor neighborhood.<p>Businesses with signs in Spanish is another, though that&#x27;s probably specific to Texas and the southwest, since we have a <i>lot</i> of poor Hispanic neighborhoods here. Unfortunately, the Hispanic neighborhoods here are almost universally poor. You go farther north, there probably won&#x27;t be many Hispanic neighborhoods at all.<p>Put them together, and seeing &quot;Cambiamos Cheques&quot; is a huge red flag.
