Del Norte meets Little Saigon: ethnic entrepreneurship on Broadway Avenue in Wichita, Kansas, 1970-2015

Abstract

Since the 1970s, a stretch of Broadway Avenue in Wichita, Kansas, has seen the growth of both Latino and Asian businesses. Using mapping, data analysis, and historical research, this study compares the growth of ethnic entrepreneurship between both populations. The results not only reveal similarities but also illustrate the degree to which ethnic entrepreneurship varies, depending on a population's situation in a given location.
