actually watts is like most municipalities in incorporated Los Angeles and LA county, it is become "hispanic" (i use the term because it is not only Mexicans, but Panamanians, Nicaraguans, Salvadorians, Hondurans, Guatemalans, etc etc) in fact, upwards of 30-50% as of yet.
this is the shifting demographics of los angeles
I got to church in Vernon/South Central, and as little as ten years ago it was still predominantly a black neighborhood, now it is an immigrant neighborhood, perhaps only 15-20% black which is not much higher than the average of most cities..
the residual affect is still there, I go to an Ethiopian church which was founded there because it was then a black neighborhood, and the three churchs immediately adjacent are also black churches, though there are few black folk in the direct vicinity anymore..
