Chart 6a, “Probability that Hispanics, Blacks, Whites, and Asians will have Hispanic<br />
Neighbors in <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong>, <strong>1940</strong>-<strong>2000</strong>,” shows first <strong>of</strong> all that all groups have<br />
been increasingly likely to have Hispanic neighbors since <strong>1940</strong>.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most dramatic increase has been in the isolation <strong>of</strong> Hispanics. By <strong>2000</strong> Hispanics were<br />
63% likely to have only other Hispanic neighbors.<br />
Next most dramatic has been the increase in likelihood that Blacks will have Hispanic<br />
neighbors, a pattern we already explored in Table 5b. However, here we can see that<br />
Blacks have increased their exposure to Hispanics at a higher rate and at greater levels that<br />
either Whites or Asians.<br />
Whites and Asians have the lowest probability <strong>of</strong> sharing neighborhoods with Hispanics,<br />
and the score for Asians has actually decreased since 1990, from 32% to 24%.<br />
Bear in mind, however, that the “Hispanic Neighbors” perspective is looking at Hispanics<br />
from the outside in. Table 6b shows what Hispanics see from the inside <strong>of</strong> their<br />
community looking out at Whites, Blacks, and Asians. <strong>The</strong> story is very different.<br />
