Districting in Los Angeles has dispersed the Asian American population — splitting areas like Koreatown down the middle and making it harder for the community to elect its candidates, a new report finds.
June 2, 2023, 6:24 PM UTCWhile Los Angeles’ Asian population is booming, a new study found some troubling patterns in how that growth translates — or doesn’t translate — to political representation.
The authors said they were surprised by what they found. Between 2010 and 2020, L.A.’s Asian population grew by 8.2% compared to a 2.8% growth in the rest of the city. Asians now fall behind only Latinos and whites in population size, but their voting share remains low. The largest proportion of eligible Asian American voters lies in District 1, which encompasses part of Koreatown. They only number 21% there, according to the report, and representation continues to get lower from there.
