Living in Arcadia
People of Arcadia - Arcadia has experienced
a tremendous demographic shift in recent years. A city
that was almost uniformly white Protestant 30 years
ago is now 45% Asian and is expected to have an Asian
majority before the 2010 census. The transformation
is linked to a rapid increase in wealth in Asian countries
such as Taiwan, China, Korea and Hong Kong. This has
led to the immigration of many Asians to countries like
the United States. Arcadia offers excellent public schools,
which are seen by many young upper-middle class Asian
immigrant families as a ticket to a good college, and
eventually desirable careers for their children in America.
The large, established Asian immigrant community and
the relatively high quality of life are also attractive.
