[constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 39th Congressional District, as configured during Cisneros's 2019-2021 term, encompassed parts of northern Orange County, eastern Los Angeles County, and southwestern San Bernardino County including Fullerton, Yorba Linda, Rowland Heights, Chino Hills, and Diamond Bar. The district is demographically diverse: approximately 63% Hispanic, 18% White (non-Hispanic), with significant Asian-American populations. With a median household income of roughly $92,000 (2024), a poverty rate of 11.8%, and a homeownership rate of 62%, the district is relatively affluent but economically unequal. Historically a Republican stronghold, the district voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and flipped to Democratic control in 2018 before reverting to Republican in 2020, reflecting its competitive swing-district character. The economy is driven by retail trade, healthcare, construction, and manufacturing, with a notable 25% foreign-born population.
