I'm not sure what area you are referring to as Houston Whittier. If you mean any of the neighborhoods along the street Houston Whittier racial transition didn't begin to occur until the mid-1970's or late-1970's. The neighborhoods north of Houston Whittier were still over 80% White in the early 1980's. Lots of Germans and Italians still there, but about to get out as the decade continued.
