41% in Bankrupt Stockton Don’t Speak English at Home; 21% Can’t Speak It Very Well
In Stockton, Calif., which has just entered into Chapter 9 bankruptcy, 41 percent of the people do not speak English at home and 21 percent cannot speak it very well, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Data that the Census Bureau developed on what it calls the “social characteristics” of Stockton during the five-year period from 2007 to 2011, indicate that this city, located eighty miles east of San Francisco in California’s San Joaquin Valley, had a population of 289,926.
Of those 289,926 people, 76,869 (or about 27 percent) were foreign born, according to the Census Bureau. Of these foreign-born, 43,084 (or about 15 percent of this city’s total population) were not U.S. citizens. More
Stockton's problems aren't due to its hispanic population. It's due to wild spending. It's either Stockton or another California bankrupt town that a lot of the blame goes to their fire department that sounds a lot like Salisbury.
Wasn't Salisbury voted as All American City a few years ago? Is going bankrupt what we have to look forward to?
