Stanton: Demographics

Stanton is one of Orange county's racially diverse areas. In 1990, the city was 5% black, 40% Latino and 15% Asian, but the 2000 census saw the number of blacks is lower and Asians lost a few points. A high number of Hispanics live there, plus storefronts have Greek, Russian, Hindi, Arabic and Iranian language signs, and a huge percentage of Asian immigrants since the 1970's. Orange County has a high home price issue and has driven millions of lower-income or middle-class residents out the county in the last six years. Stanton is said to lost many blacks, Asians and even Latinos by the sudden increase in home prices and rents on working poor families. I wonder if Santa Ana, Anaheim and Garden Grove are no longer held as homes to large minority and underclass populations, then are seen as mostly white and middle class from the 1950's to the late 1970's. Demography is a guessing game, but the U.S. Census may undercount or are inaccurate in some places. + 207.200.116.195 03:40, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since Stanton doesn't have a Notable Residents category, several weeks ago I edited in the name of a notable who has lived in Stanton for over 25 years. He's well-known True Crime author & World War II Hstorian, Don Lasseter. Don is a friend of mine, so, this is accurate information. My edit placed itself at the very beginning which I did not like but did not know how to create that category. My edit has been deleted but the category not added. I would appreciate if you could add this category & put Don's name in it. Thank you so much. Angelsings Angelsings (talk) 18:08, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Emergency Services

Where did the story about the disbanding of the Police department due to a shooting of a 5 year old come from? Please provide citations or the dubious statements will be removed as probable vandalism.

I agree w/ what was originally posted about the Stanton PD(I noticed it at first about four months ago, then saw the "censoring" and immediate removal of the same article);too bad that a threat was made on that person to remove any and all mention of that incident(this WAS a tragic part of Stanton's history!)...This is NOT vandalism!...this is "sanitizing" municipal history to a degree that smacks of being "PC"...

Just about everybody in(and outside) Orange County knows about this event!!!...The story is true and you know it!!!...

The Orange County Register should have this story in their archives...Just look at www.ocregister.com and check it out...the archives should go back to 1985 and beyond...

Good luck...and NO MORE "cleansing" of history regarding the City of Stanton(or its now-disbanded police force), OK???...

Thanks, Michaela92399 16:38, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Michaela, if you want I will try to restore the original story of its disbanding, OK???Baldwin91006 (talk) 01:33, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Michaela, I'll try to re-edit this portion about the REAL reason for the Stanton PD's disbanding, but I'll probably get "chewed out" over and over by a certain editor who's determined to punish BOTH of us for revealing the true story...wish me luck!...Baldwin91006 (talk) 03:07, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Michaela, it seems that someone has improved the section about the former Stanton PD, but also removed the REAL reason for its disbanding:the innocent killing of a five-year-old boy by a SPD officer in 1984!...it was NOT a union strike that killed the SPD, and you all know it!...anyway, thanks for improving the whole article!...Baldwin91006 (talk) 03:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adventure City

Isn't Adventure City actually in Anaheim? That's what the website says. What's the source? 172.248.52.207 (talk) 00:28, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't add the info, but I believe it is correct. The mailing address is in Anaheim, but if you look at a map you'll see that the park is mostly on the Stanton side of the boundary.—Stepheng3 (talk) 06:32, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
