[edit] Demographics
The demographics of the Cucamonga Valley have been shifting in recent years. The population of European Americans, who once constituted a large majority, is on the decline while the population of Latinos and African Americans is growing . Unlike most of Southern California, there is not a particularly strong representation of Asian Americans in the Cucamonga Valley, although it is steadily increasing. Rancho Cucamonga has the highest population of Asian Americans in the Cucamonga Valley, at 9.00 percent of the population.
[edit] Transportation
Freeways running in an east-west direction are (from northernmost to southernmost) State Route 210, Interstate 10, and State Route 60. Interstate 15 is the region's only north-south running freeway.
Historic U.S. Route 66, as Foothill Boulevard, runs east-west through the region. Other major surface streets include Base Line Road, Arrow Route, 4th Street/San Bernardino Avenue, and Valley Boulevard running east-west and Archibald Avenue, Sierra Avenue, and Riverside Avenue running north-south.
Two Metrolink commuter rail lines, the San Bernardino Line and the Riverside Line, serve the Cucamonga Valley. The lines are named for their eastern terminal stations, with their shared western terminal being Los Angeles Union Station.
