Hispanics are increasingly unlikely to have non-Hispanic neighbors. The steepest decline has been in the chances Hispanics have of sharing neighborhoods with Whites. This was a very high 82% in 1940 and has plummeted ever since, to only 18% in 2000. Just as striking is that Hispanics have never had much exposure to Blacks or Asians as neighbors. These figures have remained almost flat at less than 10% since 1940. Race Contours 2000 –Resegregation of Los Angeles County, 1940-2000 18

Even so , it is very important to note that the rates a quite low. This chart is scaled to reach its maximum at 25%, so the values in it a quite small despite the visual effect of the rising lines. The bottom line is that Whites, Blacks, and Asians in 2000 still had no more than a 14% chance of having an Asian neighbor. The Asian population has bee rising more slowly than the Hispanic, to compare the two main immigrant groups, but its volume has now surpassed the one million mark, so we would expect that the non-Asian groups will be more likely to have Asian neighbors. The relatively low figures here, however, suggest that Asians are settling in clustered enclaves, a prediction supported by the companion Table 7b.
