I have gotten a couple of requests for immigrant population by city proper information so it's below. Listed are total immigrant populations as well as all immigrant groups with more than .05% of the total city population. As usual, 2021 ACS 5-Year estimates are the source. In one of my next posts, I'll be looking at diverse suburbs in major metro areas.

^ There are more Bangladeshis than Indians in NYC proper? While the Bangladeshi population is huge and highly visible, optically, there appears to be way more Indians. Surprised honestly. Since the same 5 year ACS puts the Indian population at about 235k for the city proper. Does that imply that the majority of Indians in NYC were born in the US and are not foreign born immigrants??
Per capita, Miami and Boston absolutely crush this list. I mean truly crush it. In terms of immigrant diversity. Both are under 50 square miles and less than 700k people. THis is why I say Boston is probably top 5 most cosmopolitan city Ive ever been to...if you grew up in the city you would understand.

That is exactly what that means yes. It means only 79 out of 233K Indians in the city were born in India.

If were going per capita in terms of population, the one that stands out to me most is actually St. Paul. Not even 200,000 people live in the city.
St. Paul is more impressive than Minneapolis per capita. Both cities combined in about 100 sq miles are easily the second most cosmopolitan cities in the midwest.
