Huge. Redwood City is isolated from the Silicon Valley techie feel. It's worth noting that Redwood City varies a lot within its borders - you have gorgeous wooded enclaves that look like Atherton or Woodside, sleepy middle-America type suburban bedroom communities, and a more active Hispanic-flavored east side (Lenolt and North Fair Oaks) plus a cool old downtown.

RWC is its own city... MV feels like a suburban extension of Silicon Valley. RWC is not big by any stretch of the imagination (75,000 people) but the downtown is very active (albeit small) and it's the most diverse city in the Peninsula other than EPA. Great place to raise children

Where are you getting the RWC and EPA are the most diverse? RWC's 85% white and Hispanic, and EPA's 82% black and Hispanic. The most diverse city on the Peninsula is SSF, followed by Daly City.

EPA's 25% black, 10% Pacific Islander, 10% White and 55% Hispanic...


RWC's 10% Asian, 40% Hispanic, 40% White and 10% other...


EPA & RWC are as diverse as Daly City. I forgot that SSF was counted as part of San Mateo County... lol

If we're talking about economic diversity, though, I'm pretty sure Redwood City is the most diverse. (I don't count Menlo Park because its low-income neighborhoods are mostly unincorporated.)

Hey I got much love for RWC and EPA, and they are both very diverse by Peninsula standards. But your figures aren't exactly correct, and Daly City is definitely more diverse than either of them. Compare DC and EPA:

East Palo Alto:

* Hispanic (58.8%)
* Other race (34.7%)
* Black (23.0%)
* Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (7.6%)
* White Non-Hispanic (6.5%)
* Two or more races (4.6%)
* American Indian (1.6%)
* Filipino (0.7%)
* Asian Indian (0.5%)

//www.city-data.com/city/East-P...alifornia.html

Daly City:

* Filipino (31.6%)
* Hispanic (22.3%)
* White Non-Hispanic (17.7%)
* Chinese (13.6%)
* Other race (11.3%)
* Two or more races (6.2%)
* Black (4.6%)
* Other Asian (2.3%)
* Asian Indian (1.0%)
* American Indian (1.0%)
* Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (0.9%)
* Japanese (0.8%)
* Korean (0.8%)
* Vietnamese (0.7%)

//www.city-data.com/city/Daly-City-California.html

There are far more ethnicities with greater representation in Daly City than there are in EPA.

Well we weren't, lol, but you are definitely correct. DC doesn't even have a downtown, so RWC definitely beats it there. In the weather department too!

Depends what you're looking for. If you are extremely liberal, go for Palo Alto. There is a part of Redwood City known as Redwood Shores, very nice planned development (townhouses & homes) on the bay. MV, Sunnyvale do have some gang issues - lots of renters, too. If you can afford it, and don't mind being farther away from transit (busses & trains), look farther west - Saratoga, Los Gatos, Cupertino.
