4.02.12 California s Congressional District 37 Demographic Sketch MANUEL PASTOR JUSTIN SCOGGINS JARED SANCHEZ

Purpose Demographic Sketch Understand the Congressional District s population and its unique demographic character Assess demographic shifts over time and implications of constituency change Examine characteristics of the growing Latino population in comparison to other groups Illustrate the significance and diverse composition of immigrant populations

Methodology Congressional District 37 (CD37) o Data Sources: Census Tract-Level Data From U.S. Census Bureau o 2000 Decennial Census o 2005-2009 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Summary File Geolytics Census CD 1980 and Census CD 1990 (historical data in 2000 Census geography) o Consistent Geographic Definition Over Time Congressional District boundaries change over time We approximate CD37 geography by grouping together 2000 census tracts that largely fall inside CD37 + Allows for consistency over time - Numbers for 2005-2009 will not match exactly those reported from the Census for CD37

Total Population, Age Composition & Race/Ethnicity Overall, relatively racially diverse, with no one group near a majority Slow growth for overall population during the 2000s Increasing non-hispanic White, Latino and Asian/Pacific Islander populations during the 2000s (declining Black population) Declining child and senior population relative to working-age adults Significant decline in proportion children among people of color (increase for non-hispanic Whites)

Income and Poverty by Race/Ethnicity Per capita income of non-hispanic Whites is about two times that of Latinos, and much higher than that of Blacks Decreasing median household income for Latino and Black households, widening the gap between them and non- Hispanic Whites Declining poverty rates for all race/ethnicities during 2000s, but higher rates overall for people of color, particularly for Latinos and Blacks

High renter population (about two-thirds) overall remained stable during the 2000s Black households are quickly disappearing and being replaced by a combination of other racial/ethnic groups

Nativity & Citizenship, Language, and Linguistic Isolation Immigrants comprise almost a third of the population with little change during the 2000s Naturalized immigrants increased (both in number and as a share of all immigrants) over the same period Almost one-half of all households speak a language other than English at home and many are linguistically isolated Naturalization rates increased during the 2000s for nearly every immigrant group examined; Mexican-born immigrants have the lowest naturalization rate among groups examined

Place of Birth for the Foreign-born Population Latin-American immigrants are three times the number of the Asian foreign-born, but both have a significant presence in the district Latin-American immigrants comprise two-thirds of the foreign-born, split almost evenly among Mexicans and Central Americans Nativity Groups as a Proportion of the Total Population 2000 2005-2009 Diff.
