and is home to over 475,000 people.
Antelope Valley is a diverse community.
The landscape of the Antelope Valley has undergone a substantial transformation due to exponential growth and development over the last 40 years.
In the 1980s, the area began shifting from a sparsely populated, mostly white, high desert outback to a bustling “bedroom commuter colony,” allowing those priced out — including many people of color — to purchase newer, single-family homes.
