A salient is a part that sticks out. When you talk about armies, a salient is “a narrow area where an army has pushed its front line into enemy territory.” (1) Since the sentence has the word “invaded”, which is meant figuratively (i.e., not literally), this implies you need that military meaning. It means that there’s a rundown part of town which sticks out into the schoolyard.
