Are there any Russian areas in North Palm Beach Co?
Does anyone know if there are any 'Russian areas' in Palm Beach County? I know about Miami Beach/Sunny Isles and Aventura further south, but I haven't heard about Palm Beach County. Thanks in advance!

Don't think there are any Russian enclaves anywhere in PBC. I can't even think of any prominent Russian restaurants or shops in the county. Think your best best is in Miami.

The island of Palm Beach and Highland Beach have some of the largest Russian populations in the entire United States.

You could be right in terms of percentage of the local population but not overall numbers. I believe New York and a number of surrounding communities are tops in the country. Regardless, I don't know of any "Little Russia" areas in the county that support a Russian speaking population. Could be wrong though... |

In terms of percentages New York is below Pikesdale, MD in regards to Russian populations in the U.S. The cities I've mentioned in Palm Beach County are home to some of the highest percentages of Russians out of the ENTIRE U.S. as this source proves:

Cool link, very interesting. Based on the percentages there are roughly 1,000 Russians in Palm Beach and and 400 in Highland Beach (Census 2000 pop)
It surprises me with such high percentages in Highland and Palm Beach that you don't see any businesses catering to the population.

The only big Russian neighborhood I know of is in Miami. Sunny Isles Beach has a huge amount of Russians, and is nicknamed "Little Moscow".
