I've wondered about that too, especially for the Bay Area, which appears to have a huge Jewish population, yet the visible Jewish presence is very minimal. Even LA, which definitely has a large visible Jewish population, I'm not totally convinced is apples-to-apples accurate. Outside of West LA, I see very little Jewish presence.
But there's no national Census of Jews in the U.S., so very hard to confirm suspicions. And maybe it's just that the West Coast has less visible ethnic cleavages.
