Carson's economy is based primarily on manufacturing. Half of Carson's land area is occupied by factories, petroleum refineries, and other industrial buildings and structures. Carson has a diverse ethnic composition consisting of Latinos, Filipinos, African Americans, White Americans, Khmers, and Samoans. Carson, California has the distinction of being an incorporated city in the United States where the African American population has a higher median income than the white population. The north side of Carson is home to many affluent, professional African American families. The neighborhoods on the north side of the city include middle-class, two-story homes as well as exclusive gated communities. The wealthier portion of the community largely resides in north Carson in the vicinity of California State University, Dominguez Hills, and Prior to expansion in the mid 1960, the university was located in nearby Palos Verdes. In nineteen sixty-five, Carson was chosen as the home for the relocating university over the communities of Friendship Park, Fort Macarthur and Torrance. Carson is the site of California State University, Dominguez Hills. CSUDH is a major commuter school, particularly for African-American students from the surrounding cities of Long Beach, Gardena, and Compton. It was established in the wake of the nineteen sixty-five Watts riots, as a response to community outcry over the lack of higher education opportunities in the largely black south suburbs of Los Angeles. Today, it is among the most racially diverse campuses in the United States. Carson is also the location of the Home Depot Center, a sports complex including a soccer-specific stadium used by the Los Angeles Galaxy and, as of 2005, Chivas USA, a tennis stadium and a track and field facility. It is also used as a training ground by the U.S. national soccer team. It opened in two thousand three, adjacent to CSUDH. The ADT Event Center is the first and only permanent indoor velodrome in the U.S. The Goodyear Blimp also has a landing pad in Carson, a fitting tribute to the 1st and 2nd U.S. and International Aviation Meets held at the Dominguez Hill Rancho between nineteen ten and nineteen eleven, which featured many blimps and zepplins.
