According to the 2000 census new york state had a Greek population of 160,000....just curious how many of these would be in NYC? im assuming its grown now...the metro area couldnt be more then 250,000 could it?

Here in Australia we have 150,000 Greeks in Melbourne according to the 2006 census, however the rest of the state of Victoria barely has 5,000 so everyone here is concentrated in the main city...some claim we have between 300,000 to 600,000 which is ridiculous and unrealistic.

Sydney has about 100,000 but the rest of the state probably has about 10,000 more as well.

From what i've read Illinois is at 94,000...how much of that would be in Chicago?

seems as though everyone seems to overestimate the figures.

I know in the Syracuse area, many are concentrated on the. Eastside of Syracuse, into the Eastern suburbs(especially DeWitt). Some more are sprinkled into the Western and Northern suburbs. Here's some good information: Home


YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Greek Syracuse

Ithaca has quite a few as well: home - St. Catherine's Greek Orthodox Church

Home
Home - Dino's Mediterranean Deli

I'm sure there are Greek communities in other NY areas like Binghamton, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Utica and some others.

Thanks for that info.

According to census 2000 data:

Buffalo - 4,300 Greeks
Syracuse - 3,000 Greeks
Rochester - 5,000 Greeks
Albany - 4,700 Greeks

New Jersey has updated its 2010 demographics and Greeks have gone from 61,000 to 65,000

Don't consider myself "Greek American" as I was born and raise in America... but my Grandparents were born in Greece.
