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.
