Which cities probably have the largest German communities outside Germany? This one is a big mystery to me. (It definitely isn't anywhere in Britain - even though we have thousands of German-born people here, most of them are people born to British service personnel who return home).

The ones I am not so sure about are Thais and Indonesians - compared to Filipinos, not that many migrate to North America. Instead, I'd expect their numbers to be greater in Australia and the Gulf Arab countries, while Netherlands of course has many Indonesians and I think Sweden has many Thais.

Glendale is also one of the safest cities in the US believe it or not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glendale,_California

Not quite. The largest diaspora in Moscow is Azeri.

Chicago traditionally was the main destination for Eastern European migrants in the US. Most Portuguese people in Paris (and France in general) went there either as refugees or economic migrants during the Salazar dictatorship. Ever since the fall of the Soviet Union, hundreds of thousands of Russian Jews have migrated to Israel, and in turn many Israelis (of various ethnic and national origins) like to settle in Russia.

[Daco Celtic]

Romanians and Hungarians = Cleveland, OH

[Peterski]

For Ukrainians probably Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada.

[Tooting Carmen]

Romanians and Hungarians = Cleveland, OH

I'd have thought Romanians nowadays would be most numerous in one of the Spanish or Italian big cities.

[Peterski]

I think that for Ukrainians it might also be some city in Russia or in Poland.

But there is no data on where did Ukrainians in Poland settle since 2014.

[Daco Celtic]

I'd have thought Romanians nowadays would be most numerous in one of the Spanish or Italian big cities.

Yeah, maybe that is true today. I was just thinking more traditional places for Romanians to locate in the US. Most go to CA, TX, or NY these days but 100 years ago they went to Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Pittsburgh to work in factories.

[Tooting Carmen]

Also, what about non-Jewish Russians? (Jewish Russians are found in extremely large numbers nowadays in Tel Aviv and across Israel, of course).

I don't think so since the Afrikaners now consider themselves a separate group from the Dutch so we have to speak about the Dutch themselves.

Did you know that there are 582,782 people living in the US who were born in Germany?
We thought that was interesting so we did some research to find out as much as we could about German expats here in the US. We think we found some pretty interesting stuff.

I made a map of Slavic ancestry in the USA and Canada, but it was in terms of % in each state/province.

So I can tell you which Slavic ethnicity is most numerous in which state/province, but not in which city.

Here we go:

Belarusians - 1. Ontario
Bosnians - 1. Ontario
Bulgarians - 1. Ontario
Croats - 1. Ontario, 2. Pennsylvania, 3. Illinois, 4. Ohio, 5. California (over 40,000 in each)

Czechoslovaks - 1. Texas, 2. Illinois, 3. Wisconsin (over 100,000 in each)
Macedonians - 1. Ontario
Montenegrins - 1. Ontario
Moravians - 1. Texas
Poles - 1. New York, 2. Illinois, 3. Michigan, 4. Pennsylvania (~1 million each), 5. New Jersey, 6. California, 7. Ontario, 8. Wisconsin (>500,000 each)
Russians - 1. New York, 2. California (>400,000 in each), 3. Florida, 4. New Jersey, 5. Ontario, 6. Pennsylvania (>200,000 in each)
Rusyns - 1. Pennsylvania
Ruthenians - 1. Pennsylvania

Slovenes - 1. Ohio, 2. Ontario
Ukrainians - 1. Ontario, 2. Alberta, 3. BC, 4. Manitoba, 5. Saskatchewan, 6. Pennsylvania, 7. New York (>100,000 in each)
Windish - 1. Pennsylvania
Yugoslavs - 1. California, 2. Alberta, 3. New York, 4. Ontario, 5. Illinois, 6. Michigan

=====

I also collected data for some Non-Slavic Eastern Europeans.

Lithuanians - 1. Illinois, 2. Pennsylvania, 3. New York, 4. Massachusetts
Latvians - 1. Ontario, 2. California, 3. New York, 4. Illinois, 5. Massachusetts
Romanians - 1. Ontario, 2. New York, 3. California, 4. Quebec (>500,000 in each)
Moldovans - 1. Quebec, 2. Ontario
Hungarians - 1. Ohio, 2. New York, 3. Ontario
Estonians - 1. Ontario, 2. British Columbia

And some other interesting "ethnic identities":

Cenral Europeans [unspecified type] - 1. Ontario, 2. British Columbia, 3. Alberta
People who report their ethnicity/ancestry as "Soviet" - 1. New York, 2. California

And people who report "Eastern European" (unspecified type) are most numerous in 1. New York, 2. California.

I'm thinking in absolute numbers here, not just per capita.

Largest Polish communities in post-WW2 Soviet Union according to the census of 1959, in absolute numbers and in %:

Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republic:

City Vilnius - 47,226 Poles (20%)
County Vilnius - 64,467 Poles (80%)
County Salcininkai - 37,182 Poles (85%)
=====
Total in Lithuania according to 1959 census - 230,107 Poles

Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic:

County & City Grodno - 50,159 Poles (38%)
County & City Lida – 40,117 Poles (55%)
County Radun - 25,842 Poles (87%)
County Voranava - 16,117 Poles (87%)
County Ivyanets – 27,529 Poles (76%)
=====
Total in Belarus according to 1959 census - 538,881 Poles

In Lviv almost all Poles were removed by then (until WW2 it was majority Polish, according to 1959 census 4% Polish).

=====

Largest German community in Poland - Opole county (ca. 27,000 or 20% of inhabitants, in the census of 2002).

[Erronkari]

Costa-Ricans=Bound Brook, NJ, USA.

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

For Serbs it's Vienna, more than 300 000 Serbs live there which is huge because they aren't large nation like Poles or Russians.

[Smaug]

Lithuanian - Chicago, USA / São Paulo, Brazil

[Creoda]

Australians - Shepherd's Bush

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

For Croats, Munich, Pittsburgh, Punta Arenas (Chile), Stuttgart and Subotica in Vojvodina.

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

Slovenes didn't immigrate much but biggest community is Cleveland. Actually there's more assimilated Slovenes in Zagreb, Graz and Klagenfurt but I can't give exact numbers.

[Erronkari]

Brazilians= Miami+Fort Lauderdale+Boca Raton+Broward, Florida, USA.

[Ford]

For Serbs it's Vienna, more than 300 000 Serbs live there which is huge because they aren't large nation like Poles or Russians.

Are there really 300k Serbs in Vienna alone? Don't you think that number applies to the whole of Austria? I would've thought Chicago is number 1 for Serbs.

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

There's a lot man, but probably good part is assimilated by now. Forgot about Chicago, you're right about that.

[Tooting Carmen]

Difference is that the ones in Vienna mostly went there in the 90s, whereas the ones in Chicago are much longer standing. Therefore, taking that into account, Chicago still possibly has more people of Serbian descent than Vienna does.

[Peterski]

Poles = Chicago, USA.

Actually, London has over 200,000 - 250,000 Poles, about the same as or even more than Chicago. Berlin has over 100,000 Poles.

Vilnius has around 100,000 Poles as well.

If Vienna has 300,000 Serbs then it is definitely much more than Chicago.

And AFAIK in North America, Ontario has more Serbs than any U.S. state.

[Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić]

For Czechs it's Vienna also and probably big amount is assimilated into Austrians.

[Peterski]

In Europe, Vilnius is the city with a large Polish community (ca. 100,000 today) that is long-established.

London has more Poles, but they are recent immigrants there.


For Czechs it's Vienna also and probably big amount is assimilated into Austrians.

If they are assimilated then they are Austrians not Czechs.

Just like assimilated Obodrites etc. are Germans today.

[Tooting Carmen]

Looking again, Dubai has as many if not more Indians than London does. Likewise, it also probably surpasses Bradford for Pakistanis.

[Bolsonaro2018]

For us definitely Boston (MA), Lisboa (POR) and Tokyo (JAP)

And the biggest bolivian community outside Bolívia is in São Paulo. I've been there recently and I conffirm this, there are about 500,000 living in the city according with their own community.

What about Miami and New York?

You are right, mainly in Miami.

Funny fact, all americans whom I meet here in Brazil were married with brazilian women and all were from Massachusetts, one time I was just looking at a couple speaking english where I used to work (in a hotel) and I just asked: "Excuse me sir, are you from Boston?" and he laughed "Was it so obvious?"




I thought Buenos Aires officially had the most?

Probably about the same. Ive read in a newspaper two years ago "the Bolivia is here", they even had a road bus station like it was another brazilian state when I bought my ticket to back to Paraná.

London is officially the sixth largest French speaking city in the world as there's about 400,000 French citizens living here.

As of 2016, the number of Polish-born UK residents was estimated at 911,000, making them the UK's largest foreign-born community. Polish is now England's second most spoken language.

There's over 150,000 Americans living in London, and I forget how many Aussies and New Zealanders live here.

London also officially has the largest Chinatown in Europe. (I think a lot of the people in London's Chinatown consist of ex Hong Kongers who wish to remain British.)

London is often dubbed as 'Londongrad' due to the amount of Russian billionaires living here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Londongrad_(disambiguation)

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Londongrad-Russia-Inside-Story-Oligarchs/dp/0007356374

We have large Russian cultural festivals, large Polish cultural festivals, and Irish cultural festivals on St. Patrick's Day in London each year to celebrate these large communities in London, along with the annual Russian Ball here. We also have the Notting Hill Carnival to celebrate the large Caribbean community in London... and large celebrations are held each year in London's Chinatown each Chinese New Year.

For Algerian and Tunisian it's Paris suburbs, Paris inta-muros has relatively few Maghrebis.

For Moroccans it's Paris metropolitan area and Avignon (Southern France).

Culturally? Ethnically? Any difference at all?

Because from my experience they are indistinguishable. Especially if Ukrainians coming to Southern Russia. But even in Siberia they fit in society and there is absolutely no way to tell them from ethnic Russians.

In Russia and Ukraine there are Armenian communities in all major cities. In Russia there is organization functioning called "Союз армян России" ("Union of Armenians of Russia") with units throughout the whole country. In Ukraine there is a similar organization called "Союз армян Украины" ("Union of Armenians of Ukraine")

Not really. An estimated number of 4-5 million Croats live outside Croatia, mostly in USA, Canada, Germany, Chile, Argentina and Australia, but they are pretty scattered around in those countries. Munich has the largest community of Croats in Germany which numbers 26.000 people so nowhere close to Punta Arenas. In USA similar thing - the largest community of Croats live in Pennsylvania, little more than 50.000, so still less than in Punta Arenas.

Ticos (and Panamanians) don't migrate to anything like the extent that other Central and South Americans do, for the simple reason that their countries are relatively prosperous and stable.
