Indeed, whereas for the majority of its history the town was predominately non-Hispanic white, that population now comprises less than a third of the town’s denizens. The remaining two-thirds of the population contain sizable contingents of foreign born residents including representatives from China, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Pakistan, and more. There are currently approximately 70,000 Russian language speakers who migrated to the area following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
