so we all know that California is less than 40% non Hispanic white and is one of the most diverse states in the nation, i was looking at California on city data and i came across a few unexpected surprises

298,389 - South Coast, CA - 75.9%
486,883 - Central Contra Costa, CA - 74.2%
134,363 - South Bay cities, CA - 77.4%
193,712 - Trabuco, CA - 75.0%

City data has certain cities and towns clustered into one division, and through these 'divisions' you can see that there are a few populous places in California where non Hispanic whites make up more than 75% of the population


are there any more places like this in California ?

im genuinely curious to see where the non Hispanic whites have spread out across the state, i never realised that their still existed such large communities in California where NHW made up more than 70%/ 75% of the community

When you look at some of those figures, look at the South Bay Counties you find that Hispanic is not as high as some other races in the state, but that does not mean the rest of the population is white.

Look at the figures of employed college graduates, and you will find that over 60% are foreign born and over half of the population speaks a language other than English at home. You will see that 36.4% are foreign born which is much higher than California as a whole.

Of the families that speak other than English at home, 40% are Spanish speakers, and about 50% are asian and pacific islanders. And California as a whole, has half again as high as California average for people with less than a high school education.

Percent of Employed Population with a BA or Higher that is Foreign-Born in South Bay Area, working in the IT world are 67%, and all industries it is 47%.

Welcome to the Silicon Valley Index website!

California as a whole, has the highest income level in the U.S. but on the other hand uses 1/3rd of all funds spent in the U.S. for poverty assistance with by far the highest poverty rates in the country.

They have the highest actual income of all states, but when it is adjusted for cost of living using the latest full year figures, it is not the highest income state in the nation, due to the high cost of living in California.

Look anywhere thats relatively expensive to live and with low crime rates (Newport Beach, CDM, Newport Coast, Laguna etc...) and you'll find the white people.

According to the US Census a white person is anybody with ancestry from europe, the middle east or north africa, I am sure they all have similar cultures.

Well, they all look the same. Or something. Right?

Often these sorts of threads are started out of a longing for...what?

Doing a quick search on Wikipedia, your county is also extremely safe. Much more so than those counties with the much overrated "diversity". If you would like to trade your safety for some diversity, go for it! LA/Riverside county and all its criminal minorities await!

Does the self-proclaimed Mexican half of you get offended by statements like that?

Do I really need to post the facts? You know damn well minorities make up the vast majority of criminals in CA prisons. Call it racist if you want, numbers don't lie.
