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.

https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/l...s-strike/4633/

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.

So you are pissed that anglos don't procreate as fast correct? What exactly is the problem with that they cant make babies? Maybe it is amoral decadence with whites that they do not want to procreate.

Mormons and some other Christian groups like the Quiverfull movement procreate quite a bit (the Duggars are part of the latter category).

If you look at the census link you posted, there is also this stat:

Persons 65 years and over, percent
Adelanto 5.7%
Arvin 5.2%
Hialeah 19.7%
Miami 16.7%

And that's only noting those over 65. I would bet further investigation would find that the population age skews lower in those cities, thus the natural discrepancy in rates, not some "California cultural tradition".

Different groups, generally-speaking.

It is what it is.

Comparing statistics from communities that aren't the same at all.
Means nothing.

I had to attend a business meeting in Orange County, CA before I retired and I was simply astounded by the number of Latina women who were pushing baby strollers with a couple of toddlers in tow also. Some had a bun in the oven to. I'm sure a good number of them were here illegally. I couldn't help but think how much this was costing the taxpayer and the overcrowded schools and neighborhoods there.
