Diversity is Our Identity

The Census Bureau recently released data from their American Community Survey (ACS) for 2022, and some interesting numbers pop out in Santa Clara County. For example, 62% of households are single family homes, and 60% of housing units were constructed prior to 1980.

An astounding 41% of the county’s residents are foreign born, and 55% speak a language other than English at home, making this one of the most diverse communities in the country — and the world.
