According to Wikipedia, only 3.5% of Baton Rouge is Hispanic. I expect that number to rise significantly over the years as some of the huge growth in our Latino population in the Southwest spills into Louisiana.

What district/area of BR could you see becoming majority Hispanic?

I forget the name of the area, but there is a small Hispanic enclave by the Home Depot near Coursey and behind the B Quick on Greenwell Springs.

When I went to watch fireworks on the river for the fourth a few years ago, over half the crowd was Hispanic. Must be lots of undocumented persons.

It’s a lot more than that it’s just there are a lot of undocumented workers here. There’s tons of Hispanics in this area because of all the job opportunities in the construction and industry business

There seems to be a noticeable growing Hispanic population in Gonzales.

Not likely, they'll all move to St. George.

They'll stay in the last unicorporated part of the parish, Gardere Lane.

Not sure.

There's already an area that's mostly Vietnamese (sherwood immediately north of Florida).
