There are some immigrant communities but less than 1% of population. The town is not center or even part of any metropolitan area.
Despite to be the bigger town located in a touristic region, Jamesville is the less glamourized place. There are some few luxury condos and hotels, but the marshes around keeps the town a bit isolated from the other places in the coast. The inhabitants, usually retireds and elder people looking for a calm place to rest, are very reserved, being excited only when talking about motorsports or baseball.
A popular saying in Elway and Eastern FSA is "When I retire, I will buy a boat, learn to play golf, and live in Jamesville".
San Bruno
Seaside city. A half of the people is black or castellanic, and maybe 25% of the population are immigrants. Tourism (beaches), culture and music are strong here. (TBD)
