The area was once predominantly white. Upper-middle-class Asian immigrants have settled in Walnut, where they now form the majority of the population. Many immigrants are from Taiwan, but there is a growing affluent expatriate population from Hong Kong and mainland China too. The growing amount of Asian-owned businesses - although Mainland Chinese noodle and dumpling eateries are represented - are not an uncommon sight in the area. Interestingly, Walnut is part of a small cluster of communities (along with Rowland Heights, California, Hacienda Heights, California, Diamond Bar, California, and Chino Hills, California) in the region with large concentrations of Taiwanese Americanos.
