I am new to California and I wonder where the Chinese communities are. I have learned that Arcadia, San Gabriel, San Marino have the most concentrated Chinese population. I wonder if the Census can show the Chinese neighborhood by zip codes? and give out percentage or total population count?

Monterey Park is probably the most "Chinese" city in the area. Lots of Chinese businesses and people along Valley Boulevard between Alhambra and El Monte. There is alos Chinatown, but that's more of the historic Chinese area. Monterey Park is sometimes referred to as the New Chinatown.

Hi Grace and welcome to California! I am an ABC and grew up in Los Angeles County so I can definitely help you out with that info.

Los Angeles County actually has a few “Chinatowns”. The oldest is in the city of Los Angeles which is probably not a place you would want to live now because it is pretty run down and urban—not a place to raise a family or look for a high quality of life. It is mostly a commercial/industrial area and tourist attraction.

The newer Chinatown is in the San Gabriel Valley. For Los Angeles, this region has the highest percentage of Chinese/Asians and is widely known as a destination for many immigrants from Asia. This area is moderately urban mixing older residential communties with retail amenties. Chinese populated cities which comprise the San Gabriel Valley are:

Monterey Park (many consider this the most Chinese)
Alhambra
San Gabriel
Rosemead
Temple City
Arcadia (the second most desirable to live for Chinese in this area)
San Marino (arguably the most desirable city to live for Chinese in this area)
South Pasadena
Pasadena

Another Chinese/Asian settlement is in an area further east and south of the San Gabriel Valley. (Some people may consider this also part of the San Gabriel Valley, but it is about 17 miles away.)
The cities which comprise this area are:

Rowland Heights (has the most amount of Chinese stores, restaurants in this area and many Chinese live here in the newer development gated communities in the hills)
Hacienda Heights
Diamond Bar
Walnut
Phillips Ranch
Chino Hills

There are also some more Chinese scattered around in smaller communities in cities such as:

Covina
West Covina (notably the South Hills community)

Orange County also has a prevalent and affluent Chinese community in the city of Irvine. More recently, it has become a very desirable area for Chinese to move to and it has been known that wealthy immigrants from China have been paying cash in full for the expensive homes there. It is a newer development, master-planned community consisting of tract homes and has very good schools.

You can look up zip codes by city name by visiting this website: Zip Express - Lookup Zip Codes by City
It's very easy to use-- just enter in the city name and select the state.

For information about population percentages of Chinese in a city, you can use Wikipedia.org and look up the name of the city. It will give you more information about that particular city and should also give you population statistics. Note: It may not show you the % of just Chinese, but rather show you the % for all Asians.

The U.S. Census Bureau probably has all that information, but if you haven't been able to easily find it on their site, you may have to place an order for that data from them.

I hope that helps you and please private message me if you have more questions. I'd be happy to help!
