California doesn't really have many of these type of places since basically any fast growing area in it gets tons of Hispanics...actually I guess there's Placer County. Think of there.
My theory is that it involves a desire to own a big house and the whole "ALL PRODUCTIVE AMERICANS OWN HOUSES, IT'S THE AMERICAN DREAM BLAH BLAH BLAH" nonsense. They can't afford to own a big house in the city or even an inner suburb, so they move far away to where there's lots of land and real estate is cheap so they can buy their hideous McMansion at the price of a house half the size in the city. Meanwhile people who are wealthier but don't care about owning houses and rent a nice condo in the city are obviously more liberal.
In the Sacramento area, there aren't many big houses in nice neighborhoods in the nearer suburbs. If you've got money and want space, you move out to EDH, Cameron Park, or one of the nicer (read: "out in the country") areas of Elk Grove, Rocklin, Lincoln, or somewhere like that.
Most of the suburbs that were decent but affordable (Pocket, Elk Grove, Natomas) are becoming run-down, higher-crime rental areas. People with money and nice things want to avoid that.
