Largest Latino vs Mexican communites in California

[edit]

Imperial County (7 cities) and eastern Riverside county (3 cities) are thought to have the highest percentage of Latino and Mexican people in California, but the article states Mexican-American as a separate ethnicity. Yes, Calexico is the most Latino city in California, then there's Coachella to the north, Brawley, Calipatria, Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, El Centro, Fort Yuma Indian Reservation, Holtville, Imperial, Indio, and Westmoreland. And 10 cities in Los Angeles county are more Latino, but not exclusively Mexican-American: East Los Angeles (the most in the county-unincorporated), Bell, Bell Gardens, Commerce, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Lynwood, Maywood and South Gate, and even formerly large African-American communities of Compton and Inglewood. 12.218.47.124 (talk) 00:40, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Large concentrations of Mexicans/Latinos outside CA and the southwest (TX, AZ and ironically New Mexico) can be found now in Iowa and Missouri, esp. in towns with beef and poultry, food processing and light industrial plants in these states. 67.49.85.100 (talk) 22:10, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Historic Mexican communities in CA include Santa Monica with additionally high Central and South American populations, and Westminster between downtown Garden Grove (insultingly called "Garbage Grove") and "Tin Can Beach" or northern Huntington Beach. There is a "Little Mexicali" in Desert Hot Springs which has a rapid growing population of recent Mexican immigration. And finally, affluent sections of Downey with their country club and "Treasure Island" development. 2605:E000:100D:E482:10E6:5554:1ACB:C20F (talk) 01:47, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia of the 2000s had an article (now deleted) about Pacific Northwest Hispanic Culture, a large Mexican and Latinx presence in the states of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. I have an article on the center of Mexicans in the Northwest US: Yakima, WA. <ref>https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/in-yakima-other-areas-growing-latino-population-invisible-politically/#:~:text=In%20Yakima%2C%20where%20Hispanics%20now,Hispanics%20in%20statewide%20elected%20offices.<ref> Adinneli (talk) 04:32, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
