Is it just me or do people who are Igbo and Yoruba seem to be very very distinct.

Most Igbos I have met seem to have a smaller stature, have different facial features and sound completely different.

The Yorubas that I have met (even the ones from outside Nigeria) seem to have a more robust bone structure and look and sound different.

Stereotyping even more the Igbo kids seem to get into less trouble, and I dunno if it is difference in cultures but they seem to be the more studious group. Sorry if I come off as being offensive, I do the same thing for Asian, European and Latin cultural groups. Sorry NigerianNightmare if you are Yoruba. A ton of African Americans have Yoruba Blood so I might have some, although I think I might be more Aja and Fulani.

My African born friends in Houston are always clowning each other. Their jokes would most definitely be deleted in minutes if posted on here.

Anyway, I concur with NigerianNightmare. There is a lot of intracountry variety. Many of these borders are European constructs so it might not be as simple as saying this country ethnicity.

A Country like Switzerland for example has a historical range of cultures - French, German, Italian. You will hear more French in Geneva, German in Zurich and more Italian in Lugano. To us they are all Swiss, but upon further interaction you see they are more varied than that. Heck, there's variety even within Scotland and Ireland. The UK has subgroups of their subgroups.

I agree completely that the data Im posting doesnt answer all questions, but its the best we can do. There are unfortunately limitations to how deep the data can go. All Sub-Saharan African languages are grouped together so I cannot tell how many speak Igbo or Swahili by themselves. That would give a more complete picture, but we dont have it.

I am not hating on the data at all, and I apologize that it came out that way. These threads are done of the most informative on here and greatly appreciated.

My intention was to concur with the posters before me in regards to variety of some cities groups in comparison to Miami. So it's more a critic on Miami’s diversitythan in the data. Saying that Houston's African contingent is mainly Nigerian is true but Nigeria has varied ethnic groups so that Nigerian group might represent 4 groups. It's true that there are dozens of countries in the Caribbean, but they have more in common than the groups that make up one country. So just because Miami has many countries represented didn't mean that it is a guaranteed #6. Even countries that speak different languages in the Caribbean are still very similar. Martinique and Guadeloupe are French and Dominica and St Lucia are English but all 4 are very similar and a form of Creole similar to Haitian Creole is spoken in all 4. I have also found that south and Central Americans from the Caribbean coast share similarities with the West Indians. The Aboriginal People of the West Indies the Kalinagoes can still be found in Dominica and St Vincent and they mixed with people of African descent and developed Garifuna culture which is remarkably similar in places like Honduras and some of the West Indian islands.

Igbo people look a lot more like a stereotypical African American. Yoruba tend to be darker and have wide faces. Haven’t noticed a different in stature. In my experience Igbo seem more outspoken and gregarious. Both seem successful in school.

No it didnt come across bad. I was just reiterating that the data we have is as good as we can make it but itll never be complete.

Yeah, like AASB said, the data is the best we got and luckily from most countries the immigrant populations tend to be less diverse than the actual country they come from so it’s more of a mute point like Northern and Middle Belt Nigerians are almost completely missing from the data for Nigerian Americans with Igbo and Yoruba being just over 1/3rd of the Nigerian population and probably making up 70%+ of the Nigerian diaspora. We also mix a decent amount im sure NYC, Houston and Maryland have different diasporas just because Houston’s oil tied alone mean more Southern Nigerian minorities like Ijaw, Edo and Efk pop up in the population, and Igbos were first settled in America as refugees of the Biafran war but generally that pattern is nationwide it seems.

I do know of some extreme diasporas and the census actually recognizes them such as Hmong, Kurdish and Somali Bantu diasporas. Even the South Sudanese diaspora before it became a country the census or official documents made some sort of leeway for these unique groups that either don’t have a nationality or was a specific group within a larger group like Somali Bantus.

Weirdly enough the cities 48% and higher have a certain ring to it. Like it’s the Sunbelt/Western starlets all there except Las Vegas.

I would also expect a city like Charlotte or Austin to be in that region as well judging from the list.

It's 100% about WHEN certain groups of immigrants came to this country. Prior to the reforms in immigration in the 60s through the 90s, immigrants tended to be in the northeast and rust belt cities due to most of them coming by boat and that's where most manufacturing jobs were. After the fact, when most people came by plane and the economy for working class people switched from manufacturing to the service industry, immigrants piled into these places...which ended up favoring the Sunbelt as it has grown.

The only reason why Miami is lower on that metric is due to Cubans getting automatic citizenship. If that wasn't the case, then it would be far higher than 45%. For Las Vegas, I'd imagine most of their immigrant population is driven by relocations from Southern California. Thus it's more people who have had time to establish themselves first and then move to dusty pastures in Nevada.

I guess that is a little personal on my end. I fall into that category. Ive also broken out people who claim Brazilian ancestry out of the white category. I thought about including their numbers in the Hispanic total, but that didn't feel right either. I just felt that they don't belong with European white. There are some limitations. As we get to the smaller metro areas on this list, they don't all have this breakdown. I will list the demographics as normal.

So anyway, with that out of the way, here it is!
