i wasnt even going to post this study as the quality of the images is not good. But i got tired of hearing foreigners saying how great buenos aires is identical to bolivia...

If you take a look at the barplots the majority of individuals from lujan sample are over 90% european

Muy interesante!!
Como te lo dije alguna vez.
Luján al estar afuera del AMBA ya se comporta como la mayor parte de los pueblos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, dónde es muy común que el promedio sea 90% Euro o más.
Y ahí se nota la diferencia con la capital (78 a 81% Euro según los distintos estudios), Mar del Plata y Bahía Blanca (77% Euro ambas), etc.
Se ve que en las ciudades decrece in poco el Euro por la mayor diversidad y especialmente la inmigración que llegó de ciertas provincias interiores más alejadas hace unas cuantas décadas.
Por eso es que no es sólo Luján al fin y al cabo, puedo especular que si este estudio lo hacen en Mercedes, 25 de Mayo, San Miguel del Monte, Lobos, 9 de julio, General Villegas, Arrcecifes, San Antonio de Areco, Pigüé, Tres Arroyos, Laprida, Cnel Suárez, Huanguelén y un larguísimo etcétera sale prácticamente calcados.
Porque dan justo con la sumatoria de lo inmigrante y el pequeño remanente colonial y poscolonial antes de 1870.
Realmente interesantísimo!!

Is this a middle or high class area?

To me Buenos Aires was a heavily european city before 90's like 90% of the people were white and the city was a fusion of Galicia with Italy with some jewish and french influences. Today, the city is not like Bolivia of course, but me as a foreigner, imagine the city received important migrations from Paraguay, Bolivia and Northern Argentina and whites as whole have fallen to 70/74% which is still a very high percentage.

You as someone from La Plata, how european would say that Buenos Aires is? How white?

I asked again, your criteria to consider someone white os +80% Euro DNA???

In that case you are not totally wrong but not in the 90s.
In the 70s could be.
Now, the bolivians are only 350.000...
Who really changed the population were a lot of people who came from inner the country (NW region especially).

What kind of area is Lujan - a middle class suburb?

Its not wealthy at all. Its more like rural.

The electric train last stop is the previous to Lujan, and i think thats the main reason why lujan doesent have as many poor people as other areas.

I asked a year ago or so a Lujan habitant if the place was safe and he said "yes but it was safer before they connected us with the highway". Its like the less connected you re the less slum people your region will recieve.


Lujan is in the limit of GBA
