Table 6b, “Probability that Hispanics will have Black, White, or Asian Neighbors in<br />
<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong>, <strong>1940</strong>-<strong>2000</strong>,” tells a very striking story. Hispanics are increasingly<br />
unlikely to have non-Hispanic neighbors.<br />
<strong>The</strong> steepest decline has been in the chances Hispanics have <strong>of</strong> sharing neighborhoods with<br />
Whites. This was a very high 82% in <strong>1940</strong> and has plummeted ever since, to only 18% in<br />
<strong>2000</strong>.<br />
Just as striking is that Hispanics have never had much exposure to Blacks or Asians as<br />
neighbors. <strong>The</strong>se figures have remained almost flat at less than 10% since <strong>1940</strong>.<br />
