I was considering doing this, but I realized I know nothing at all about Southern California. I would be in the Cupertino district. Nicely done there.
I moved from Santa Clara County a year ago, after living there 40 years
Cd 6: Republican Woodside, Los Altos. Probably the only one in the county. Upscale, wealthy. Los Gatos would be the ghetto for the district.
Cd 3 Cupertino. Asian majority
Cd 4 Sunnyvale Asian majority
Cd 5 Santa Clara D
CD 1 Democratic. Stanford University
Cd 2 Mountain View Heavy dose of Latino? D
Cd 13 Latino majority [central SJ]
Cd 9 south sJ . Anglo D
Cd 19 heavy latino and asian
cd 10 pink san jose heavy latino and asian- asian in the north and latino in south
cd 13 East san jose heavy asian and latino. mixe up the areas there.
cd blue se san jose heavy anglo and asian
milpitas asian majority.
greay anglo
as a guideline to Santa Clara county, it would be fair to say that it is 1/3 anglo, 1/3 asian, and 1/3 latino.
Asians tend to cluster in 1] Cupertino and Sunnyvale
tends more to Chinese
2] Milpitas, Evergreen tends more Vietnames.
Latinos tend to cluster in central SJ and the adjacent cd just east and se of central sj.
Whites are more clustered in s sj, - like blue.
The ethnic clusters are nowhere near as dense as those you might find in the older cities of the east, with the exception possibly of some areas of central sj and east, where some dense clusters of Latinos might be found in the older areas. but even these may have substantial clusters of especially Asians. But all ethnic groups have substantial numbers elsewhere in the county.
I think it will be possible to create a majority Asian Congressional district in Santa clara county, or a majority Latino district. But it would not be possible to create both.
A few days ago I worked up a 45% Asian CD, but that was based on 2000 ethnic patterns. Since then, Asians have significantly increased their presence.
