When you drive into the city of San Joaquin, it's hard to miss the new lights at the youth soccer fields
They're also a sign of what else you'll find in this rural Fresno County community: more children per capita than in any other city in California, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Here, 41% of the population is younger than 18, compared to 25% statewide. (see pie charts in article)
The city of San Joaquin is not alone. Across the San Joaquin Valley, cities big and small have more children per capita than most places in the state, the census data show, and that has created challenges as money for schools and other youth services has become sparse.
The high numbers of children in the Valley are driven by the region's growing number of Hispanics, population experts say.

Yes but you are not safe by being single and childless.
"It takes a village" after all.
What does it take to become a "population expert" anyway?
Really, I don’t see a problem. For the past 20 years all I’ve been hearing from the open borders crowd is that illegals pay more in taxes than they consume in social services. Using that logic, this area ought to be a boom town.
Folks, CA. as we know it is gone. I am in my seventies so it will not effect me that much but, I fear for my kids and grand kids. This combined with the states financial crisis dooms this state to third world status. The country cannot be far behind.
True, but you must've forgotten the other main factor: American Whites don't want babies and don't grow in numbers for decades now (since 1970, I seem to remember). They are not alone: the French drastically dropped the birth rate in the fourth quarter of 1800s.
Is it white women don’t want them or white men or both? It seems to me that when women abandoned the home to go work in the world of men the children were abandoned as well in both the taking care of them as well as the creation of them.
At the rate Cali is going I’m expecting within about 20 or so years to see the state become a part of Mexico. It’s possible that Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas will suffer the same fate, too.
What say you?
Haha, the comments on this article are awesome.
The turd worlding of America rages on!
Seems to me that both. It's not like women went to work against the wishes of men: if they did we would have heard about millions and millions of women abandoned by their husbands for working outside the home. All those husbands bought into the mantra "mom's work won't hurt the baby" --- just like they later bought into a pro-divorce mantra, "It's better for children if parents are divorced rather than hear them argue all the time." Most importantly, those same men really enjoyed the extra paycheck. It looked as if this is all benefits but no costs. You and I know that there were costs, but those accrued to the children (born and aborted), and we don't hear about this much because children have no voice.
So it seems to me that this is just a general cultural trend shared equally by men and women. The same French at the end of 19th century appear to prove the same: they stopped having babies without wives going to work.
As cynical as this may sound, but people appear to simply egotistical and prefer to live for themselves rather than children. From those in their 20s and 30s, I hear constantly, "Don't rush to get married, enjoy life for a while" (as if marriage is a pure chore and burden); and, "We don't want to rush with the baby (in singular) and prefer to travel and enjoy life for a while" (as if children are pure burden). I did not notice any difference between the sexes in such attitudes.
At the rate Cali is going I’m expecting within about 20 or so years to see the state become a part of Mexico. It’s possible that Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas will suffer the same fate, too.
It well may be so, especially if some larger civil war erupts. If it does not, I think that the birthrates of everyone else but Anglos will make Anglos a small and silent minority, and traditional, English roots of our culture with die off. There may be no need to join Mexico: it's possible that they would simply have this, more prosperous than Mexico, country for themselves.
That's just my two cents, of course. It was good to hear from you, Jack.
Leftism always seems to infantilize societies and cultures.
Part of me just doesn’t care. To pay for this,California will raise taxes on the rich of California, who give to the Dems anyway. Just wall the whole state off and let them do whatever the Hell they want to. Tax themselves at 100% to support anchor babies. The CA voters had the chance to stop this nonsense with Wilson’s referenda on benefits for illegals and they rejected it. Now they have to live with it.
That's a very interesting thought. I'll remember and ponder on this idea. Many thanks.
“What does it take to become a “population expert” anyway?”
From the ones I have heard about...
First you would not have any children of your own. Then you will tell everybody else how bad it is to have children...until you retire and have nobody to pay your way then the story changes...
See the documentary “Demographic Winter”...it is eye opening.
“It seems to me that when women abandoned the home to go work...”
You have touched on one area that is in the research. I would suggest seeing the documentary “Demographic Winter”, it is very eye opening as to how the culture has changed.
As a culture we have changed from one that looked at children as a blessing to one that looks at them as a burden.
