=== Other demographic data === {{more citations needed|date=April 2012}} La Quinta has developed a culturally diverse community, as large ancestry groups include [[Mexicans]] (the largest) and [[Mexican Americans]] who frequently came to the Palm Springs area/Coachella Valley to find available employment in the 1990s and 2000s. Others, in alphabetical order, include: [[Armenians]], [[Bosnians]], [[British people|British]], [[French people|French]], [[German people|Germans]], [[Italian people|Italians]], [[Polish people|Poles]] and [[Jew]]s of multiple nationalities.<ref>{{cite web |author=American FactFinder, United States Census Bureau |url=http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=86000US92253&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_DP2&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-_lang=en&-redoLog=false&-_sse=on |title=American Factfinder |publisher=Factfinder.census.gov |access-date=December 23, 2010 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212042824/http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTTable?_bm=y&-geo_id=86000US92253&-qr_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U_DP2&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF3_U&-_lang=en&-redoLog=false&-_sse=on |archive-date=February 12, 2020 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Seasonal population known as "[[Snowbird (people)|snowbirds]]" from coastal Southern California, Northern California, the [[Pacific Northwest]], the [[Midwest]], and [[Canada]] increase the local population by 20-50 percent in the cooler months from November to April. A large percentage of seasonal residents are [[senior citizens]]. There are also several [[RV]] or [[mobile home parks]] in La Quinta with many seasonal residents, common throughout the eastern portion of the Coachella Valley. Like the rest of the "East Valley" including nearby communities of Indio, Coachella, and unincorporated communities of [[Bermuda Dunes, California|Bermuda Dunes]] and [[Vista Santa Rosa, California|Vista Santa Rosa]], there is a growing Latino (especially Mexican-American and [[Central American]] nationalities) as well an enlargened [[African American]] and [[Asian American]] (i.e. [[east Asian]]s) population belonging to the middle and upper-middle class. According to the [[United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce]], estimates placed Latinos at half (about 50% to 60%) of the local population of the whole Coachella Valley region, Blacks at near or over 10% and Asians at 10β15% of the city population as of the year 2010. Most of the minorities are recently moved-in families sought starter homes and/or relocated from urban centers of [[Southern California]] during the 1990s and 2000s, and from families of two or more races (to represent multiracial identity).
