I'm curious about finding out which neighbourhoods in your city are known to be the most culturally diverse. Are they known to be the most diverse in the county, state/province or country? If there's a criteria for this discussion, I'd say there has to be a minimum of 80 different cultures/languages within that neighbourhood.
I believe Rogers Park is the most diverse neighborhood in Chicago, or at least that's how Loyola likes touting the neighborhood. If it's not number one, then it's certainly up there at the very least. I do believe that statistic is based on racial diversity though, as I am uncertain if information on cultural diversity is readily available.
In terms of it being known statewide, it isn't a particularly known part of Chicago in the rest of Illinois. Those in the Chicago area have heard of it though at the very least due to it being home to Loyola though.
Well if Toronto and Montreal have multiple neighbourhoods with 80+ languages, cultures or ethnicities, I'm sure NYC has this as well.
Keep in mind that some of the most diverse cities in the United States are also some of the most segregated. Not saying those neighborhoods don't exist (I honestly have no idea if they do or not), but I'm just pointing out the segregation issue facing many American cities.

I lived in NYC, personally speaking, I only lived among AA's, West Indians and Hispanics. The only language I usually came across was Spanish. Sure, there were other races, cultures, and ethnicities as well, but to add up to 80+, that sounds a bit high.

It's not. That's one neighborhood that you lived in. NYC is a big place. Not to mention that going by languages that you remember hearing regularly on the street is not a very good form of measurement. I can't even name 80 different languages myself.
As I said earlier, Jackson Heights Queens has over twice as many languages spoken. I'm sure there are many other Queens neighborhoods with 80+ languages as well. Probably in some other boroughs too.

I think that's so skewed though. It's not like Nigeria, where you actually have areas that speak SEVERAL different languages. Even still, to measure diversity based on the amount of languages, seems very far-fetched. lol
