Carlsbad - The Southwest Border

As noted in previous posts the diversity in the demographics of Carlsbad is quite limited. It is over 80% Caucasian with less than 1% American Indian and less than 12% Hispanic. This is quite a feat considering the history of California with it being a part of Mexico and coupled with the huge influx of immigration from south of the border into the region. Moreover, San Diego County also has a greater number of native American Indian tribes than any other county in the United States. There are 18 reservations and 20,000 American Indians residing in San Diego County. There a re four tribal groupings in these 18 smaller reservations, the Kumeyaay/Diegueño, the Luiseño, the Cupeño, and the Cahuilla. Still Carlsbad remains a privileged community despite its location.
