Chapter 14: The Southwest Border Area

Los Angeles lies in this area, and from walking in the streets you can feel the cultural diversity it has, especially the Hispanic presence.
Even though the poverty rate in the southwest border area is relatively high, the graph chart on the regional landscape book shows that the Los Angeles area does pretty well with less than 5% poverty rate as opposed to a place like Texas southern border area which has a 25% poverty rate. Even so, Los Angeles does sadly have its own poverty stricken areas.
