contact with other Latinos in day-to-day interactions, as documented by Vilma Ortiz in Ethnic Los Angeles (Waldinger and Bozorgmehr, 1996). Latino Diversity o Immigration from Central and South America greatly expanded Latino diversity: by 1980 the Mexican origin population decreased to 76% of all Latino, Salvadorans, Guatemalans and Central Americans were 11%, South Americans were 4% and others of Hispanic, 6%. Latin American Origins - 1998-99 Mexican Central/South American Other Hispanic o As of 1998-99 the Mexican origin population was still about 76%, with Central and South Americans totaling 21% and other Hispanics at 4%. It is likely that a significant proportion of those reported as “Other Hispanic” in 1990 were counted as Central/South American in the later estimate. Latino Ethnic Group Profiles Tables 1.05 through 1.24 detail the characteristics of 17 national origin groups in Los Angeles, such as Mexican, Cuban and Nicaraguan. Summary tables show totals for Latinos, Central Americans, South Americans and all other Hispanics. Data for these profiles is from the 1990 census and while quite dated, provides some indication of similarities and differences among Latin American Groups. The profiles are organized alphabetically, from Argentinean to Venezuelan. The following topics are included in each profile: Population Growth Immigration Community with largest population Age Language Education – Adults Employment Occupation Income Housing Family type Poverty status

This is due to a larger population of children and youth, as well as a lower proportion of elderly than other groups. However the median age for Latinos has been rising steadily since 1980 at a rate similar to that for other ethnic groups (Table 1.25). The Latino age structure graph for 1998 is broad at the base, showing the high percentage of young children and a bulge in the 25-39 age group, representing the large immigrant population plus the trailing edge of U.S. born Latinos of the Baby Boom generation. It tapers sharply at the top due to the small percentage of older adults. o The Non-Latino age structure graph shows the characteristic Baby Boom bulge at ages 35-55. While it narrows at the top it shows a much larger percentage of elderly, and is considerably narrower at the bottom with a smaller percentage of children and teens than seen in the graph for Latinos.
