Observations on very recent immigration trends for your City

That looked odd until I realized it's just those countries.

Springfield, Ohio has recently received a very large inflow of Haitian migrants (10-15,000) and of course the right-wing media has picked up on the story and is calling it an "invasion" of "illegals". That's not to say there aren't some significant challenges, since Springfield is a shrinking city of only 60,000 and has not built new housing stock in significant quantities in decades, but the anti-immigrant rhetoric seems to be taking hold and blowing things out of scale. Some of the Haitians have started trickling next door to Dayton where there are more housing, education and job opportunities and a stronger immigrant assistance network (google Welcome Dayton if you're unfamiliar with the city's efforts to build an inclusive immigrant-friendly city).

Also a lot of immigrants from Mauritania to Ohio over just the past few years.

Only notable interesting trends for California are Colombians in San Jose and other for Sacramento. Other is likely India.

This is probably just Latin America.

Since I'm from Seattle I notice that we have a tiny dot compared to actual numbers. That's why.

"Cities and towns across the country that don't look very Canadian, and don't feel very Canadian."

No, if you look back at the original, it's not just Latin America. But it is only refugees, asylum seekers, and others within the immigration court system. I suppose Seattle has few of those compared to legal migrants.
