The population structure of Acadia

According to the census results of Arcadia 20 10, there are 56,364 people in this city.

In the past 25 years, Acadia has experienced great demographic changes. About 30 years ago, almost all the residents of Asian cities were white; Now, however, nearly half of the population is Asian. This change is closely related to the wealth growth of Taiwan Province Province, Chinese mainland, South Korea and other Asian countries and their immigration to the United States. Acadia has excellent public schools, which many upper-middle-class Asian immigrant families pursue. They hope that their children can receive a good education in the United States, enter a good university and have an ideal career in the future.

In addition, Acadia already has a considerable Asian immigrant community, and the surrounding quality of life is relatively high, which is also attractive to Asian immigrant families in other regions. Since the early 1990s, more and more Taiwan Province and other Asian immigrant enterprises, such as Dahua Supermarket, Guanghua Supermarket and the popular Ding Taifeng in Taiwan Province Province, have appeared in some small shopping malls and storefronts along Baldwin Street south of Huntington Avenue.

Wealthy immigrants from China left their first stops in the United States, such as Los Angeles Chinatown, Monterey Park and Alhambra, and then moved to wealthy Acadia, and nearby San Marino, South Pasadena and Temple City. Now, some immigrants from Chinese mainland have joined the ranks of immigrants from Taiwan Province Province, which makes the population of China in Acadia continue to grow.

Asian students in the Acadia school district have become the majority, almost two-thirds. In the 2005-2006 school year, 63-65% of the students in Acadia High School were Asian, which was much higher than the proportion of Asian residents in the city, while non-Hispanic whites only accounted for 24-26% of the students in Acadia High School. This is because the average age of Asian whites is relatively high, and children from many families have graduated.

In the census in 2000, there were 19 and 149 households in Yaktia, with a total population of 53,054, of which 14 and15 were families with a population density of1865. Yashi has 19970 apartments with an average density of 702.2 per square kilometer (181square mile). In Asian cities, whites account for 45.58%, Africans account for 1. 13%, aborigines account for 0.25%, Asians account for 45.4 1%, Pacific islanders account for 0.08%, other races account for 4. 16%, and those with two or more lineages account for it. The median annual income of Asian families is $65,438+$044,370, including $93,668 for men and $49,372 for women. .

Asians are currently the second largest ethnic group in Acadia and will soon surpass whites to become the largest ethnic group. By 20 14, three Chinese (all from Taiwan Province province) were successfully elected as city councillors, namely, retired Dr. Chang Sheng, the illegitimate son of the current mayor (John Wuo) and the newly elected Mr. Zhang Tai.
