Not that complicated. Neighborhoods change. Has very little to do with Jewish people, in particular. People with the means don't want to live in a poor, high crime, high blight neighborhood like the Bronx after WWII. This is true for people of all religions. I don't think there are many Anglo Catholics left up there either. Similarly, the neighborhood my dad grew up in had a large Jewish population (for Memphis) in in the 1950s. Today, it's not an area one wants to spend a lot of time in. I don't buy the whole highway thing. There are plenty of very nice neighborhoods near highways. Including, as it happens, the current Jewish part of town in Memphis.
