The distinct contrast between Levittowns and Santa Clarita was the strong presence of racism in the developments. An early policy developed by Levitt called Clause 25. In this clause it directly states that, "...the home could not be used or occupied by any person other than members of the Caucasian race," from "At 50, Levittown Contends With Its Legacy of Bias". However, even though this clause was dropped in 1948 in ruling by the Supreme Court, Levittowns still continued to follow through with it. It was a sharp blow to the African American community because the Leviitowns were supposed to offer them a hope for the working class because it promised affordable housing with no down payment. When blacks were allowed to move in, there were protests and leaflets against Jim Crowsim. In contrast, there were protests done by the whites in prospect of the blacks moving in.

In Santa Clarita today, none of this would take place. There is not a race that is discriminated against to the point that they cannot move into certain neighborhoods. In today's community, everyone works together, lives together and goes through daily life together.

After World War II, the entertainment industry had seen a huge boom in consumer spending, thus resulting in needing more ways to entertain. In Levittowns there were baseball diamonds, parks and many clubs anyone could join. Most necessities and activities that needed to be done could have been found within the Levittown. This is much like Santa Clarita today. It offers movie theaters, restaurants, a mall for all shopping necessities, churches and grocery stores. Aligning with what was said in Bachelor of Paradise, "You'll never have to leave Paradise." This accurately describes Santa Clarita as it offers the basic necessities and more without have to drive more than 10 minuets to the grocery store.

Overall, Santa Clarita is a modern model of a Levittown through the similarities in demographics and physical layout of the town.  You can find everything you need within the valley without having to leave, along with Levittowns with not having to leave "paradise". The only striking difference between Santa Clarita and Levittowns is the factor of discrimination. Throughout Santa Clarita, there is no dominating idea that there is one race superior to the other. Santa Clarita directly reflects everything a Levittown enticed.

Santa Clarita is filled with many different ethnicities around the entire valley. In a 2010 census, there were 56.1% whites, 29.5% hispanics, 8.3% Asians, 2.9% African Americans and 3.2% other or mixed. In classrooms across the valley, there will not be a time where you come across a classroom with one race dominating over any others. This is unlike the lifestyles in Levittowns. In Levittowns, it was predominantly white at 97.37%, in a 1990 census. This was due to the decisions of Levitt and his reluctancy to let in African Americans. Eventually, there was "open housing" opportunities for African Americans which led them to be in a minority pocket. From "At 50, Levittown Contends With its Legacy of Bias" it was said, " 'It's certainly  not a melting pot, but it is a community in transition."

Much like Levittowns, Santa Clarita's neighborhoods are built in similar ways. As said in "Levittowns", each town is subdivided into 16 separate neighborhoods and each carries a distinctive name. In Santa Clarita, some subdivisions of neighborhoods are Southern Oaks, The Arts, Westridge and Bridgeport. Both neighborhoods in Santa Clarita and Levittowns, consist of identical layouts of houses and almost identical street blocks. The houses in each neighborhood are also based off of the same model houses, spread across neighborhoods for with different color exteriors.

Also, as seen in Bachelor in Paradise, the neighborhoods are mostly filled with families. It is very rare to find someone living in the new developments alone, without a family. Likewise with Santa Clarita, majority of streets in neighborhoods are filled with nuclear families. There may be one or two single people living in a house, but they are most likely to be living in an apartment, rather than in a neighborhood. The neighborhoods were built to create their own clubs within the community and have their own ties. This was true for Levittowns, but in Santa Clarita, all clubs consist of residents from all parts of the valley

Santa Clarita is much like Levittowns in the way that the neighborhoods are built similarly, the demographics of the city's residents and through the city life. However, one distinct difference that has changed over time and that is the fact that today, there is no discrimination in neighborhoods of Santa Clarita. Through its fluid layout and lively neighborhoods and schools, Santa Clarita can strongly reflect what a modern day Levittown would be and Santa Clarita could very much be considered a, "...most perfectly planned community in America."
