Because the large influx of Hispanics into the Eastern Coachella Valley, it's surprising nobody wrote a Spanish translation of Indio and Coachella. The wikipedia staff should consider the bilingual nature of these cities, and rewrite the articles on Indio and Coachella in Spanish. It's written in German (Deutsch) and French (Francais) since tourists from Europe, Canada and Australia (obviously in English) come down to the Palm Springs-Indio area. The Indio area has a history of other ethnicities formed a sizable segment of the populace: Armenians, Filipinos, Japanese, Russians, Syrians and Western Europeans. La Quinta is home to a large Italian community, the Jewish religion has six synagogues in Palm Desert, the tolerance of the gay/lesbian lifestyle has placed an anchor tied to Palm Springs, and over 50,000 Canadian " snowbirds" flock to the Indio area every winter. But the majority of inhabitants are Spanish-speakers, although bilingual and I wondered anyone in Latin America would love to read about the Indio and Palm Springs area.

I've corrected my spelling and caps to began sentences. I admit my mistakes. The origins of Coachella's situation is many residents are lower-middle class not poor enough and certainly not rich. 15 years ago, Coachella suffered from low attention and a city government unable to do good business. Shopowners left the city for elsewhere. The southern Pacific rail station closed in 1990 devastated local business, six big-name retail or grocery stores closed like Target, Sears and Penneys, and older homeowners sold their homes when values crashed in the early 1990s. It was a time Cal. has stifled in a bad economy. I remember an Indio City councilman gave his take on the Desert Sun a few years ago on half the residents don't have a college diploma. Besides Indio and Coachella are comfortable places for Hispanics. An area of choice where members of an ethnic group move in where others of their group already live. Mexican immigrants choose to live in less expensive homes, the further from a main city, the cheaper. we're 20-30 miles from Palm Springs. BTW that city isn't all glitz or glamour, Cat. City and Des. Hot Spgs. are worse off. - ernesto
Sounds like a good idea for me to develop them, because no articles on the Cabazon and Twentynine Palms band of Mission Indians exist. I know these are generally small populated tribal nations, but the two casino establishments made the Indio/Coachella area a must-go for "high rollers" or casino patrons. Coachella has the Augustine Band of Cahuilla Indians, the smallest tribal group in the US, has six members made up of the family of Mary Ann Parker, tribal chief and owner of Augustine Casino. Adopted by an African-American family, Parker has later discovered her heritage after her biological parents and brother's deaths. She made national and world news headlines, like Time Magazine's 2003 front cover story on Indian Gambling in America, and the impact of Native American sovereignity able to allow Parker to run a casino. She approved a hotel-resort project with a 18-hole golf course on a square mile patch of land, the former Augustine Indian reservation, has risen away from extinction. I can make a page on the "family" of Mary Ann Parker, legally the Augustine tribe, with the right stuff. + Mike D 26 09:01, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
According to the Minor League Football Association article, a new semi-pro football team is coming to Coachella in 2007, the "Thermal Truckers" may play there. I can't find any proof of this, it lacks the sources and criteria. Please don't spread rumors on Wikipedia, but I understand the MLFA has interest in more teams for California. I can't think of a place for a football franchise in Coachella or anywhere, but to call it the Thermal Truckers is unusual, because Thermal is right by Coachella and don't really have a stadium, but a small recreation park. + 207.200.116.74 05:56, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just did a major edit of this article; it was unbelievably poorly written. Most of my edits were just for grammar and word choice, but I did delete a couple of sentences which I felt were too controversial and POV. In addition, I removed the following, which was embedded in an HTML comment. I didn't write it, but it belongs here, not in the main article.
This article is still plagued with problems. 149.8.226.148 21:49, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

The following is unsourced information:
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives ( talk) 11:55, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
"Coachella received negative local media attention as a city riddled by youth gangs, drug trade activity, massive movement of undocumented immigration and racial separatism. Much of the non-Hispanic population moved away in reaction. However, the 2006 FBI crime statistical release placed Coachella at the lowest crime rates in all of the Coachella Valley and Riverside County."
Please be aware that FBI crime statistics lumps "Hispanic" (a concocted term that is actually meaningless at many levels with "Chicano" and "Latino" also meaningless terms/labels), in the "White" category. Personal experience from decades of living in many areas of California, frequently as an Anglo minority and increasingly as an Anglo-USA citizen minority that, especially for males, great care had to be taken to either avoid or deter criminal assault based upon being an Anglo and/or a USA citizen. Some basic Web research if conducted properly will offer ample proof of what I proclaim though the USA mass media has failed at informing the general public of a reality that led to my eventually fleeing my home state now so often and adequately labeled as Mexifornia. Even though the politically correct crowd bemoans reality when I departed California I believe I re-entered the USA... even though the ongoing invasion of the once-sovereign USA continues with the tsunami of invaders flooding across the USA.

Yes, these two statements really belog together! ;-) "The film director Frank Capra is interred in the Coachella Valley Cemetery.

Having traveled on I-10 through San Gorgonio Pass, I have noticed a sharp change of vegetation on opposite sides of the pass even if the pass is hardly noticeable as a change of altitude. On the west side is a typical Mediterranean biome of savanna-like parkland; on the east side is stark desert. Banning gets about 17" of precipitation in a normal year; Coachella gets less than 5" of precipitation in a year.
Coachella is undeniably in a rain shadow. - signed by anon IP
Yes, Coachella and nearby Indio and Thermal (hence the namesake) is under a rain shadow, which makes the area drier, hotter and experience less rainfall. These places are among the hottest in North and South America (the Western Hemisphere), but not as hot as Death Valley, which also has a below-sea-level valley floor like Indio-Coachella all the way to Calexico-Mexicali in the Imperial valley. Adinneli ( talk) 14:17, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
Coachella has a fluctuating population like the rest of the Coachella Valley. In April, about 40,000 residents, but can be as high as 50,000 in Jan (about 10,000 snowbirds or seasonal residents from the Northwest, North and East US) and just 30,000 in July, increasing to 10,000 in harvest season around April by migrant farm workers from Mexico. 67.49.89.214 ( talk) 21:15, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
