What’s interesting is people from neighboring home countries seem to flock to the same cities. Seattle and Minneapolis both have sizable East African populations.
Salvadorans are not specifically concentrated in LA the way Armenians congregate in LA or Arabs in Detroit. NYC, Houston, and especially DC have massive Salvadoran communities. LA is just the largest. Hondurans dont seem to congregate in LA. NYC, Miami, Houston, and DC have larger Honduran communities than LA.
Of the Central American communities, the Guatemalans are actually the ones that congregate most in LA. Even then NYC, DC, Miami, and Houston have sizable communities.
Its not a situation like Persians or Armenians in LA on that front. You can see what Im saying in the numbers below:
Iran
1. Los Angeles: 142,774 people
2. Washington DC: 22,905
3. New York: 22,214
4. San Francisco: 16,521
5. San Jose: 16,190
6. San Diego: 12,007
7. Dallas: 9799
8. Houston: 9587
9. Chicago: 7731
10. Atlanta: 6826
vs.
El Salvador
1. Los Angeles: 298,340 people
2. Washington DC: 200,283
3. New York: 151,674
4. Houston: 117,801
5. San Francisco: 63,310
6. Dallas: 57,117
7. Boston: 41,944
8. Riverside, CA: 34,449
9. Miami: 31,539
10. Atlanta: 21,415
I wouldn’t say the city of NYC has massive amounts of El Savadorians but Long Island is probably run by them when it comes to Hispanics! Ahh but I see this is a metro count! Carry on!

i think this is true pretty much across the board. You'll like find eastern Europeans with Russian immigrant communities, all types of Caribbean immigrants in the same community, South Americans in other South american communities, etc.
That would be a big assumption on your part. As for this metric, national origin is what's being tracked not skin color. Since South Africa is a very diverse country this means that immigrants from there to this country could be White, Black, or Asian.
This is a rather simplistic way of looking at it. Atlanta's South African community has been growing for quite some time, even when Apartheid was still in place and during that time the only people who had the means to leave were White South Africans.
I actually know quite a few white South Africans that moved here during that period. For them, they did not at all agree with Apartheid and wanted a new start in the States. Atlanta is big destination for people coming from S.A. not only due to proximity, but also for a similar setting and quality of life you'd find in places like Joburg.
Australia is discussing visas for South African Whites.

language, food, shopping (negotiating -- when my parents first moved to this country, they didnt understand set prices, i remember my mom preferring haitian markets where they were willing to haggle).

I’m wondering if that’s where the stereotype of Haitians beating people to death about prices come from lol.
A realtor told me this here in NYC and I hear that stereotype often in Florida’s Haitian community!
For the 12th largest MSA, Seattle does well all around but has a particularly strong showing for East African, Asian, and UK/Scandinavian/Australian populations (it actually beats Minneapolis in every Scandinavian country).

Seattle is probably a lot more important economically. It is interesting to see where all these mid size cities show up. Also Atlanta seems to be over represented in a lot statistics.
Seattle isn't a huge immigration center, but it does pretty well on the second tier. Its CSA had 20,814 lawful permanent resident admissions (green cards) in 2017 compared to 12,680 for MSP. Naturalizations were 11,042 to 6,429.
