This impact has come in terms of prices processors are willing to pay and in terms of quality taken. Also, the economic status of many recent immigrants continues to improve. Contrarily, acceptance of goat meat as standard fare will likely increase much more slowly among consumers with traditional allegiance to beef and pork. Additional sources of demand are coming from the health food sector and from the yuppie community now beginning to consume goat meat as a gourmet item. To date, these are relatively minor forces, but this niche market seems open to development.
Recent arrivals are more likely to be Asian or Hispanic.
For example, in Detroit, the largest share of recent immigrants comes from India. Hispanic populations are highly concentrated. As might be expected, the makeup of foreign born in the various metropolitan areas differs in rather extreme degree. In Miami, most foreign born immigrated from the West Indies. Figure 3 pictures this separation of ethnic cultures for the four cities just described.
