The reason for Santa Ana`s appeal to a large Hispanic immigrant populus since the 1970s was the availability of multi-housing units dating back before the Orange County subcitified boom, and a history of Mexican US culture is appealing to the many residents still closely attached to Mexico. In the 1970 census the city`s Hispanic popualtion was 24.6 percentthen increased to 44.5 percent in 1980 and went up to 64.7 percent by 1990though it is now decreasing, due to Hispanics moving out of areas full of high crime, to live in cities such as Riverside. Santa Ana has a large presence (compared to Orange county) of African USs. Also large numbers of Asian USs, such as Iranians, Indian USs and Vietnamese USs arrived in Santa Ana during the 1980s.

There were 73,002 households out of which 53.2% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 60.6% were married couples living together, 13.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 18.1% were non-families. 12.7% of all households were made up of individuals and 4.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The avg household size was 4.55 and the avg family size was 4.72.

The racial makeup of the city was 42.73% White, 1.70% African US, 1.19% Native US, 8.81% Asian, 0.34% Pacific Islander, 40.64% from other races, and 4.58% from two or more races.
