What we see in 90247

Gardena has the largest Japanese-American community in the South Bay, dating to the post-WWII resettlement, and a meaningful Korean and Mexican-American presence too. The case mix is unusual: E-2 investor visas tied to Japanese small business, naturalization for long-tenured Japanese-American LPRs, and family-based cases for the Mexican-American working-class half of the city.

Top countries of origin among foreign-born residents: Japan, Mexico, Korea.
