A good story about how Monterey Park became a new Chinatown. Frank Girardot: Monterey Park an icon of change from the SG Valley Tribune.

A factor I would also guess is the school district is just outside of LA Unified. The ethnic Chinese immigration has gone East in the Los Angeles area. Monterey Park, Alhambra, San Gabriel, little to the North due to school districts San Marino and then Arcadia. Continuing out to Hacienda Heights, Rowland Heights (I live here), Walnut/Diamond Bar (school district my daughter is in), and Chino Hills.
