As many people who have responded have already pointed out, maximum diversity tends to occur in certain areas for a variety of factors (immigration patterns, availability of work, economics, housing, etc.). Coming from New Jersey and having worked in Manhattan for 32 years, this is a great example of a real melting pot. Move on up here if that is what you are looking for! I don't see these same patterns present in TV. I think a significant contributor to the mix of people here is a function of how they learned about TV. We may have seen ads but never paid any attention to Florida in general or TV in particular. We dance. We met a charming couple at a ballroom dance in NJ. They lived in TV and raved about it. Many months later, a relative who lived in Florida passed away but there was a funeral in NJ. Someone we met at the funeral lived in TV and, you guessed it, raved about TV. It was only after those two events that we began to learn more about the place. I would assume HOW people learn about TV plays a significant role in WHO is here.
