As of 2010 it was only 22 percent non Hispanic white total, which means probably even less now.

And usually when a city or neighborhood changes like that and only a few whites are left, it is almost all old people who stay.

Walk down 19th Street, the old "main drag." It is a hellhole. You'll see virtually no Caucasians whatsoever. I went to the Mt Caramael feast this year and it is pretty much dead as a celebration of Italian American culture.
