Ethnic enclaves in North American cities | |

![]() New York City is home to the largest overseas Chinese population of any city proper in the Western Hemisphere, with over half million. Multiple large Chinatowns in Manhattan, Brooklyn (above), and Queens are thriving as traditionally urban ethnic enclaves, as large-scale Chinese immigration continues into New York, [1] [2] [3] [4] with the largest metropolitan Chinese population outside of Asia.

This is a list of ethnic enclaves in various countries of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds to the native population. An ethnic enclave in this context denotes an area primarily populated by a population with similar ethnic or racial background. This list also includes concentrations rather than enclaves,and historic examples which may no longer be an ethnic enclave. [9]
The list is sorted by world origin
List of African-American neighborhoods - Thousands of African-American neighborhoods exist today. However,many of these communities are now less populated by African Americans than they were during the earlier,sometimes mid and late parts of the 20th century.
(People with origins from Bosnia and Herzegovina):
Largest Arab-American and Middle eastern enclaves.
Growing Mexican,(Central American) Salvadoran, (South American) Colombian and Ecuadorean population concentrated in the city's north west area.
Except Puerto Ricans (fourth as a nationality, second in ancestry among Hispanics and Latinos), Salvadorans are the second largest Hispanic/Latino ethnicity in the US, close to Dominicans who are third. Large Salvadoran communities developed in the late 20th–early 21st century period as a result of civil war, economic conditions, political turmoil and gang violence in the country, the country El Salvador is among the smallest in size in the Western Hemisphere. The largest Salvadoran population is in Central parts of Los Angeles [332] and throughout California along with Central American groups like Guatemalans, Hondurans and Nicaraguans. [333] Recent census data shows that for the first time, there are more Salvadorans living on Long Island than Puerto Ricans, with Salvadorans now numbering nearly 100,000, [334] representing nearly a quarter of all Hispanics in the region, making them the largest Latino group in Long Island (New York State).
Note: Since immigrants from Mexico have been the largest group for a long time and have spread throughout the country perhaps more than any other nationality in recent times, Mexican-American enclaves are far more numerous than this list would suggest.
Including Native Hawaiians or Kanaka Maoli in the mainland US, esp the west coast states of CA, NV, OR and WA.
The highest concentration of urban Indians in the United States is believed to be in Anchorage, Alaska where over 10 percent of the population identify themselves in the census as having some Native ancestry, with 7.3 percent identifying that as their only ancestry. In the mainland USA, Indian Alley in downtown Los Angeles, California, may be the most dense Native American population of any major city. [365]
The second highest concentration of urban Indians in the U.S. is Albuquerque, New Mexico where at least 5 percent of the population belong to recognized Native American tribes such as the Navajo, Apache and Pueblo (Keresan, Tiwa, Tewa, Towa, Zuni). Southeast Albuquerque has the largest Native American community in the city but Native communities can also be found on the Westside and Rio Rancho. Albuquerque also has a Cherokee diaspora community known as the Cherokee Southwest Township. A much larger percentage of the population possess some Native ancestry but identity as Hispanos, Mestizos or Genizaros. This population lives all over the Albuquerque metro area but is concentrated in the South Valley and Bernalillo.
Winnipeg, Manitoba has the largest indigenous population of any major city in Canada both in terms of percentage (12.2 percent) and total number. Other Canadian cities with significant First Nations populations include Prince George, British Columbia and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Smaller off-reservation cities and towns with significant Native American populations include:
After all, it is reputed to be the fourth city in the US with the highest percentage of Filipinos–approximately 20,000 out of its total 92,000 residents.
In recent decades, Filipino newcomers have arrived at a rapid rate, now making up about 20 percent of Carson's population and 24 percent of the teens at the high school, according to city estimates.
According to government figures, there are about 200,000 Tamils in Canada
