Compton
An inner suburb of Los Angeles, Compton has seen an increase of middle-class residents in the last few years, due to its affordable housing and the reduction of crime. Compton is still seen as a primarily African-American city, although in the 2000s Latinos became a majority as a result of immigration and shifts in ethnic populations. It is referenced in countless hip hop songs, namely by Compton MC Dr. Dre.
