Where International Communities Cluster
- ddxxdd 7y agoIt was nice of the creators to mention their dataset (2018 IPUMS dataset), but can anyone tell me what frameworks are used to create this?
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 7y agoSeems to be primarily Mapbox.
- irrational 7y agoKazakhstan in the Portland metro area? Where are they all hiding? I've lived here for decades and have never heard of anyone being from Kazakhstan.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoMaybe there aren’t many Kazakhs in the USA, so an abnormal concentration in smallish Portland that is still difficult to notice would win the percent count.
- netsharc 7y agoYeah, 70 Kazakhs in Portland (population ca 700K) and 800 in NYC (population ca 8.4M): Portland has percentage-wise more Kazakhs than NYC! (0.01% vs 0.0095%)
- gok 7y agoLots of Dutch in Austin?
- tzury 7y agoNot sure how accurate this is. Just from what I know about "my people", the Israelis, are clustered in the east coast, perhaps to a similar number as on the west coast. While in the west coast itself, I am not sure that the Los Angeles community is larger than the one in the Bay Area.
- bosswipe 7y agoSince this is only counting people born in Israel it's probably a much smaller group than the wider community.
- ivalm 7y agoRussia seems like a weird country to not have (or am I blind? cant find on mobile).
- superhuzza 7y agoYou're right, its not on there. May have been missing from initial data set for some reason.
- stronglikedan 7y agoSunny Isles Beach, FL is one place (but as you say it's not on there)
- badrabbit 7y agoSurprisingly accurate
- caillou 7y agoHow is Czechoslovakia still considered a single country?
- dspig 7y agoIf it was called that when someone left, what country did they leave? And when you don't know which half? I guess the list could say "Former ..."
- postsantum 7y agoIt tagged along with Zaire into a time machine
- lainga 7y agoWell-known to me from my mother's side of the family: Punjabi Sikhs in North America form an archipelago with Brampton, ON, Surrey, BC, and San Jose, CA as anchoring vertices (with possible moorings in Renton, WA).
- 9nGQluzmnq3M 7y agoThis shows the largest percentage irrespective of population, which skews the figures quite a bit, since statistical anomalies easily get propelled to the top spot. For example, I'm pretty sure there are more Nigerians in New York City than the site's pick of "Fort Bend County, Texas", and I wouldn't be surprised if the nation's apparent #1 Belgian community in Weber, UT (which seems to be flying under the radar as far as Google is concerned) was a single large Mormon family.
- GFischer 7y agoSame for Uruguayans (and almost all Latin Americans), there are a lot more in Miami, NY and San Francisco than in Worcester, Maryland (although I do know of one there haha). Edit: I am impressed, there ARE a lot of Uruguayans in Leominster (1200 out of 40.000 inhabitants), as a whole Miami, NY and SF have more, but it's indeed where they're more concentrated. https://datausa.io/profile/geo/leominster-fitchburg-&-gardner-cities-puma-ma https://datausa.io/profile/geo/leominster-fitchburg-&-gardne...
- odiroot 7y agoWorks really well for Poland. Chicago is sometimes (jokingly) considered the second biggest Polish city.
- tomgp 7y agoIt's got England and Scotland but no Wales :(
- strikelaserclaw 7y agoSeems pretty accurate from what i've seen in my life. Indians somewhere in central NJ, Koreans in Bergen, Georgians in Brooklyn, Egyptians in Nashville.

- 52-6F-62 7y agoOne of these days we will annex Maine and Vermont. It's a soft, slow takeover—but it is inevitable. Did I say that out loud?
- mateo411 7y agoNeat. I really like exploring demo data like this. One thing to note is that you have the following the countries: Czech Republic Slovakia Czechoslovakia If people are from Czechoslovakia does that mean the immigrated to the US before the end of the Cold War?
