PBS Spotlights CdA’s Homogeneity

A new documentary series by the Public Broadcasting Service will feature the city of Coeur d’Alene as one of the whitest places in America. The PBS series is called “America by the Numbers,” and uses U.S. Census data to identify dramatic demographic shifts currently taking place across the country. Reporter Maria Hinojosa explores stories from every corner of the nation in an effort to reveal what she calls the human face of the biggest population change in U.S. history. … “We visit Coeur d’Alene, Idaho - a town that successfully ousted the Aryan Nations in 2000, but remains overwhelmingly white,” the website explains. “We explore both the allure and the complexity of living in a homogenous community”/ Jeff Selle , Coeur d’Alene Press.
