THE LATINO FACTOR
Despite Orange County’s Latino heritage, apparent in city and place names in all its regions, Latinos comprise just one-fifth of the residents. During the next 5 years, that won’t change much. Here’s a city-by-city look at how percentages have changed since 1980 and where estimates show they will be in 5 years:
