The US Census Bureau thread

Local coverage in Seattle is focusing on increased diversity - both in the state and in South King County (south of Seattle).

Here's an overview article from the Seattle Times:

"Census: Hispanics Are State's Fastest Growing Group"

One on increased diversity in South King County:

"Shifting Population Changes the Face of South King County"

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/htm...thking24m.html

The second article talks about how minorities as a percentage of population has remained flat in Seattle while the suburban areas are booming in terms of increased minority population.

There's also a map that looks at changes in minority population across the metro area - you can see how southeast Seattle (Central District down through Beacon Hill and the Rainier Valley) is losing minority population as a % of the total. Those neighborhoods have all gotten a lot whiter over the past ten years.
