The US is still better at getting refugees/immigrants to stay in a Minneapolis sized city (let alone a Lowell-sized one or even smaller) and not leave for the nearest Chicago-sized city or bi-coastal metro area than say, Canada would be at getting refugees/immigrants to stay in Halifax, Thunder Bay, or Saskatoon and not leave for Toronto or Vancouver. US-bound immigrants seem more comfortable in a 100 000-something people city, or 10, 000-something one, even one not that diverse, than Canadian-bound immigrants. This applies even for non-refugees. Despite the perception that Americans are super mobile and will pack up more readily than Canadians for greener pastures in another state/province at the drop of a hat. So many more South Asian hotel owners or engineers far from any big city in the US because they initially settled there, so few in Canadian small towns far from Brampton or Surrey. I'm wondering about this phenomenon. Is it willingness on the part of the immigrants themselves or the town to be super good at welcoming/settling them. |

Places like Boise, Idaho (e.g., Bosnia, Congo, Uzbekistan, etc.), Des Moines, Iowa (e.g., Burma, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Togo, Congo, Liberia, Eritrea, Burundi, Syria, etc.), Lincoln, Nebraska (e.g., Iraq, Burma, Sudan) to Fargo, North Dakota (e.g., Somalia, Iraq, Congo, Sudan, Liberia, etc.) also receive a lot of refugees from all over the globe relative to their size/per capita. |
Interesting then that the US has done a pretty good job at it, engaging at the local level, despite immigration being a federal issue.
In Canada, the provinces have some say with regards to immigration policy (on the books, provinces have a lot of control over immigration). In principle, provinces that aren't as economically prosperous have a harder time not getting the immigrants to simply pack up and leave to the economically prosperous cities in a different province. The "immigrants come in and use the small town as a stepping stone to the big city, often leaving in the next half decade or so" is the bane of some provinces' immigration policies with the goal to distribute immigrants more evenly to economically struggling places, like some parts of the Maritimes, though things have been getting better I hear as immigrant communities start to build up (and the incentive to leave is less). |

Of the "big three" mainland US Asian centers, New York has the most Chinese and Indians/South Asians, while L.A. leads for Filipinos, Koreans and Vietnamese. Bay Area is second for all except Koreans.
L.A. is the least Chinese/Indian dominated and is the most "balanced" in terms of nationalities, but really underperforms in terms of Indians/South Asians (fewer than Chicago and Washington); the Asian population is overwhelmingly East and Southeast Asian. Only 31% are Chinese or Indian and 45% belong to the two largest groups (Chinese and Filipinos). In New York, 64% are Chinese or Indian. |
Fremont (Bay Area) is apparently the home to the largest population of Afghan Americans in the United States.

Turning the tables, NYC CSA has a very poor representation of Southeast Asian groups across the board. Even Chicago has greater percentages of the two main groups (Filipino and Vietnamese). And the Bay Area’s Korean population (a major East Asian ethnic group) being as small as it is is almost as odd as LA’s poor showing of Indians. |
NYC Proper only (not MSA or CSA). Anomalous vis a vis the majority of the USA in that it has a relatively large South Asian Population, especially Bangladeshi and Pakistani. I would not be surprised if the Bangladeshi population overtook Korean as the 3rd largest Asian sub group within a decade or even sooner.
Group Total % Chinese, except Taiwanese 574,642 48.0% Asian Indian 230,594 19.2% Korean 87,866 7.3% Filipino 73,881 6.2% Bangladeshi 66,335 5.5% Pakistani 53,541 4.5% Japanese 25,447 2.1% Two or more Asian 16,227 1.4% Vietnamese 14,674 1.2% Taiwanese 10,927 0.9% Other Asian, not specified 9,812 0.8% Nepalese 7,876 0.7% Thai 6,994 0.6% Burmese 4,542 0.4% Sri Lankan 4,416 0.4% Indonesian 3,716 0.3% Cambodian 3,097 0.3% Malaysian 2,072 0.2% Mongolian 568 0.0% Laotian 385 0.0% Other Asian, specified 377 0.0% Bhutanese 311 0.0% Hmong 34 0.0% Okinawan 0 0.0% Total 1,198,334 100% |
Yes, Bangladeshis will be the #3 NYC Asian group within a few years. Higher birthrates and higher inmigration.
The Bronx, in particular, is becoming a Bangladeshi center. If you take the D train, it's very noticable. Norwood and Bedford Park are very Bangladeshi. And the Parkchester-Longwood area is fast becoming Bangladeshi. It's also notable because the Bronx hasn't been a big Asian immigrant center. There is a very small Korean community in Bedford Park, but it mostly suburbanized (you see tiny remnants around Bainbridge Ave.). |
Having a hard time finding any really detailed data but 2010 estimate of the Asian population of the Phoenix Metro is 3.3%
I assume that has increased significantly but if we use the 2010 ratio for today that would be roughly 165,000 Asians. Its probably a bigger ratio though like 4% Most of them I would be willing to bet are from Southeast Asia Primarily India and Bangladesh followed by Philippino, southeast Asians in genera (lots of Thai and Vietnamese) and then the northern Asian states next with the smallest being Chinese. Not too many Chinese for whatever reason. Fun Fact the most common non Christian religion in Arizona is Hindu. |

So to say that LA is the least Chinese/Indian dominated is almost laughable to me. But that's just my subjective experience. Quote:
Interestingly, the city of LA also has an official "Little Bangladesh" neighborhood. |
