Steve Sailer's reply highlights a historical footnote to Compton's demographic transformation, noting that George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush, both future U.S. presidents, lived there briefly in 1949-50 when the city was over 90% white.
This period predates the major shifts documented in the parent post: from predominantly white in 1940 to 75% Black by 1980, driven by white flight and Great Migration patterns, and then to 70% Latino by 2020 amid ongoing immigration trends.
The comment underscores how rapidly-changing urban demographics can eclipse personal histories of prominence, with Compton's evolution reflecting broader U.S. patterns of racial succession in post-WWII suburbs, supported by Census data showing similar trajectories in nearby areas like South Central LA.
