Mexico There are 3.8 million Mexican immigrants and 12.7 million people of Mexican ancestry in California. Mexicans are a massive group in California and are practically everywhere. However, by city and zip code, the greatest concentration of Mexican immigrants in California are in Historic South Central, Boyle Heights/East LA, and the North Eastern San Fernando Valley in LA. Other parts of Southern California with a high concentration of Mexican immigrants include Long Beach, Southgate in the Gateway Cities, Riverside, Fontana, Morena Valley, San Bernardino, Ontario, and Pomona in the Inland Empire, Santa Anna, and Anaheim in Orange County, Chula Vista in the San Diego metro, and Oxnard.
The data is based on the U.S. census. I’ve noticed people without papers are a bit paranoid about answering questions. Some of the cities listed are pretty high income. I’m sure this reflects how demographics (hacienda heights is seen as a more desirable area for Hispanics, good school district, and near Bishop Amat a Catholic football powerhouse).
No mention of Compton, originally German, then Black, and now more Hispanic.
La Puente was also not mentioned.
As a long term Ca resident it’s been interesting to watch the changes over the last 50+ years.
