Briefly describe "Main Street" California.
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Middle-class Americans employed in service and office sectors; their income ($66,000 median household) mostly covers housing and health care. Their grip on financial security is weakening as secure retirement and better lives for their children remain just out of reach. Majority-minority: less than half are White (45%), 30% Latino, 16% Asian, 4% Black. Three-quarters are foreign born. Almost all have graduated high school; only 12% have a B.A. Parents are able to provide after-school enrichment for children. Main Street communities cluster in large cities as well as inland counties of Fresno, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
