Los Angeles County Ethnic Enclaves

Los Angeles County is one of the most populated counties in America.  In addition, Los Angeles County is also highly diverse.  Even though its a multicultural county, ethnic minorities are not all evenly distributed across the county.  Thus, there are ethnic enclaves found in the south central region of Los Angeles, where the majority of the Black population live.  From the map, ethnic enclaves exist in the Downtown area of Los Angeles and Vermon, which are predominately Hispanic.  Towards east of East Los Angeles, a good portion of Asian/Pacific Islander are located.  What I found interesting about the map, it highlights Los Angeles County from the surrounding counties.  Orange County and Ventura county have a dull color, while Los Angeles County is emphasize as the center stage.  Also, it shows where the majority of the minorities live in 1980s.
