Where once it was an Anglo dominated community is now primarily a Hispanic dominated community. The larger populations from Mexico that encompass the community derive from Michoacan, Zacatecas and Nuevo Leon with a smaller population deriving from Sinaloa. Filipinos have also made their presence felt as they have added their rich culture to both communities of Cutler-Orosi. Filipinos along with their distinct dialect of Ilocano and Tagalog have introduced their rich foods such as Lumpia, Adobo, and Lechon to name a few.
