Chart 7b, “Probability that Asians will have White, Hispanic, or Black Neighbors
in Los Angeles County, 1940-2000” reinforces all the trends we have seen in the

77% in 1940 to 39% in 1990 and 23% in 2000.
Asians were increasingly likely to have Hispanic neighbors until 1990, but this figure had
begun to drop as well, to 24%.

since 1960, to a mere 4% in 2000.
