I am surprised it is only 36% or 37% by what I have seen in much of California.
I have never been to Adelanto and Arvin where it's that high percentage of children under 18. But on my visits to Los Angeles many majority latino areas have 24/7 babies screaming with apartments with mothers pushing strollers with children in tow. Grocery store after grocery store in parts of LA full of screaming babies.
It certainly isn't like that in my visits to El Paso and Tampa's cuban section.
I know the news media in LA reported that overcrowded classrooms of 45 students with students sitting on window sills because the tremendous amount of babies that people have as a cultural tradition in Los Angeles.
Very common for the percentage of the population in many California cities that are majority latino to be in the mid and high 30s compared to the high 10s in heavily latino cities in Florida and mid 20s in El Paso and San Antonio.
I have always been floored and my jaw drops when I enter a heavily latino area in California with the number of babies that culturally it's a tradition to have. El Paso is a heavily latino city and only 26% are under 18 and in Miami and Hialeah it is 17%.
It is very interesting, how Arvin and Adelanto, California have 50% more children under 18 than latino cities like El Paso and more than twice as many children per-capita than Miami and Hialeah.
I know based on my time in LA, El Paso and in Florida in the Cuban sections of Tampa I have noticed a huge difference.
I can count on one hand the number of latinos I have seen in my trips to Los Angeles who were millennials who didn't have a stroller with several children in tow, while in El Paso and Tampa there are many latinos who seem to not have children.
Many second generation Hispanics and Latinos aren't speaking Spanish anymore - which is what those babies represent, so if you're not interested in learning Spanish, I think you'll be fine, in a crowd in whatever town you visit.

Not entirely true..it does drop but its like 70% I think it maybe even 50.
Still dont know the point of this post. Is the OP just made that they are hooking up and they arnt?
Might have more to do with different kinds of latins...very different cultures
Calif would be more Mexican/Central American...
...Florida more Cuban/South American/Caribbean
While this is true, it has more to do with age-structure. Mexico and Central America don't have high fertility rates, they do however have a younger population.
Fertility Rate
Mexico- 2.18
Cuba- 1.72
USA- 1.80
El Salvador- 2.08
Guatemala-2.97
Median Age
Cuba- 40.8
USA- 38.2
Mexico- 29.2
El Salvador- 27.6
Guatemala- 22.9
Mexicans practice monogamy more but because of catholocism and the machismo culture have more children. Their devotion to family is a positive but the overpopulation must end.

What about Mormons and evangelical Christians like the Quiverfulls?
Not to mention Chasidic Jews?
They have large families, probably larger than that of Mexicans.
