Asians; Growing Faster than Latinos in OC (Los Angeles, Garden Grove: home, good schools)

[missionhome]

I saw this in the L.A. Times today and it surprised me. I did not know the Asian population was outpacing the Hispanic population of Orange County in growth. I knew we had Asian areas, but was surprised to see them growing faster than Hispanics (who people complain about a lot for growing too fast). The current estimate is that 16% of the county is Asian and 33% is Hispanic.

Just an interesting article about this county's changing demographics.

That's because Asians generally quietly keep to themselves and their kids bring the standards up at the schools they attend.

Where I live (Newer East Irvine near 241) 2 years ago was pretty much all White, East Indian, with a sprinkling of Hispanic and Asians, is now all most all Asian.

It is like 1 Asian family moved in and then signaled to the rest to move in all at once.

Yes they are mostly-clean, nice and keep to themselves, which I like.

You have to be very outgoing if you are a non-asian living in an Asian community though. They are very passive, but we have made some good friends especially having our 1 year old girl play with their kids.

Asians and Latinos get along pretty well here, I think speaking multiple languages creates a bond. We are actually teaching a Chinese couple Spanish, in exchange for some Mandarin and Abacus lessons for our daughter.

I live in South County so I am not up there that much and I knew communities like Westminister, Garden Grove, parts of Irvine, etc... always had a signifigant population of Asians with areas like Little Saigon. What surprises me is that they are growing at a FASTER rate here than Hispanics.

I know some Asians who have moved to OC because of some good schools there.

Have never found that "ethnic" Indians or East Asians or Jewish kids (whether from OC/SiliconValley/NYC's outer boroughs or NJ/LI suburbs) are ever particularly high-achievers in college or in their careers....

Indeed a motley crew of high-achievers at any college/industry of note....random white/Jewish/Indian/Chinese, etc kids from middle-income or wealthy or poor backgrounds (from both US and RoW)....Darwinian selection at its best...sort of like the NBA/NFL/MLB/media&entertainment industry

Irvine is more than 50% Asians.
