Top Cities (not counting metros) -of the cities I searched, there could be more, feel free to look:
Miami, FL - 75
Albuquerque, NM - 19
Houston, TX - 16
Coral Gables, FL - 13
Chicago, IL - 10
San Antonio, TX - 10
Los Angeles, CA - 9
Dallas, TX - 8
Orlando, FL - 6

I was surprised to see Chicago above Los Angeles. Of course if you count metro's LA's total would be much much higher but I dont have the time or the will to go through all those LA cities and add up the numbers.
No suprise Metro Miami has 5 of the top 9 (and 10 of the top 23) and 101 overall, almost as much as any other state.

Chicago just might be the most balanced population in the United States with well over a million African Americans. And the same number goes for caucasians. Chicago also has 800,000 hispanic citizens.

To put that into context, Chicago's hispanic population is double the city of Miami's entire population!

The city of Miami's population is deceptive. The Miami metro area has well over double the hispanic population of Chicago.

Chicago just might be the most balanced population in the United States with well over a million African Americans. And the same number goes for caucasians. Chicago also has 800,000 hispanic citizens.

I know that both The LA and SF Metros have no racial majority anymore. What about NY and Chicago? Anybody know?

Arizona's not even on there. Interesting.

^^LA just fell under 1+million blacks in the new study I believe.

I would say Houston and Miami do not have a racial majority.

^^I was just looking that up! LOL

Los Angeles County's black population has fallen below 1 Million-however, LA's Metro still has 1.2 Million Blacks. This is as of 2004 according to The California State Department of Finance that tracks this sort of data for Governor Schwarzenagger.

In fact, I did a thread about this about a month ago..

lol. i remember because of a thread in the southeast forum. Somebody posted the brookings study from 2000-2004 and I seen that LA's black population fell under a million. There are alot of people from both the Bay Area and LA living in Texas. That's part of the reason Houston's and Dallas's black population is growing now.

San Diego passed 3 million? :eek2:

I would say Houston and Miami do not have a racial majority.
Miami-Dade County is over 60% hispanic if I remember correctly

I think both New York and Chicago are still white majority. New York is roughly 55%. Chicago is a bit more.

^^LA just fell under 1+million blacks in the new study I believe.

I would say Houston and Miami do not have a racial majority.

True the entire metro of Miami does not have a majority. Here are the numbers from 2000 (I'm guess blacks have probably gone up to 1,000,000 and hispanics are probably well above 2,000,000 by now):

White: 2,206,412 (44.1%)
Hispanic: 1,702,487 (34%)
Black: 946,255 (18.9%)

Brookings is correct if they are tracking The old PMSA, which is just LA County. But if you look at the CSA, which IMO is a more accurate gage, then LA still has 1 million+ blacks.

not to hijack this thread-and my apologies to the thread starter-but it frightens me to see the black population dwindle so much in California-its just not healthy.

And I know lots of blacks from the bay area who now living in Houston. First of all, its next to impossible to find a house in Oakland under $300,000 meanwhile Houston has several thousand homes under $200,000-that temptation is more then many can bear to resist-plus, Houston is genuinely a diverse city to begin(large hispanic and asian populations plus a large existing black population) with so its not surprising that people here feel at home there, at least in the sense of being surrounded by people of other races and ethnicities.

too bad your politics suck-no more Bushes please! LOL

lol We'll try.

But yeah. I think it goes back to cost of living. Most in Texas that relocated from the Bay Area has said that the cost of living was one of hte main reason they moved out to Houston.

Dave, yeah, Miami-FLD-Miami Beach officially passed 1 million in 04. I can find the link somewhere.

Here it is..Didn't take long. Although it's an annoying PDF file.

Back to the point of the thread. I'm surprised that you don't see San Antonio on the list or Phoenix. Or hell, even DC which has a sizeable hispanic population.

San Antonio was on the list. They had 10. D.C. has 3.

13 of the 20 in VA, and 6 of the 7 in MD are in the DC metro.

Applying that SF and Chicago are like 3 million people in the city limits?

Chicago has the most Hispanic 500 farthest away from Latin America!

:gaah:

Hispanics are NOT a race!

I dont know what you mean. This is a count of the entire Metropolitan Area.

looking at the top 10 companies,those based out of Florida the majority happen to be run by Cubans for the most part....it would be interesting to see how the companies breakdown based on nationalities (e.g. Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Venezuelans, etc.)

New York is disappointingly low...

Applying that SF and Chicago are like 3 million people in the city limits?

You know Latin America is not the only hispanic-population place...Spain is hispanic as well and some people consider Portugal to be as well...Because they attend the Hispanic country meetings just like Brazil...And also Hispanics are not a race...It is simply just an American invention to separate themselves from the Spanish-Speaking people...Like for example me I am white I don't think I'm black so what does that mean? That Hispanic is a color now? I want to see that color...Haven't you all realized that is the reason why in ethnicity forms it says Whites/Non-Hispanics?I mean I don't understand why a hazel eyed almost pale dark browned curly haired boy is not White but is a race called HIspanic in which I first heard of when I moved back to the US 2 years ago...And also If you all are going to talk about Black population then state wise Georgia has more blacks than any other state in the country besides NY and Atlanta has a larger black population than any other Major city in the country from what I have researched...28.7% of Georgia is black and there are 9.1 million in the state...So that makes it 2.6 million blacks...And in Atlanta there is more than half of the black population...So in black population I would say definitely that Georgia is #1...In white population not even close...Georgia is only 62.6% white and 5.6% Hispanic and 2.1% Asian so there is not that much diversity besides Black-White population...So all I know is that in terms of Black population Georgia and Atlanta beat every other state and city maybe besides NY Atlanta is 33.3% black..Makes up almost 1.8 million blacks..Only NYC beats Atlanta...But it is funny than in NY they have 3 million blacks and in Georgia they have 2.6 million and the Georgia population hasn't even reached 10 million yet when NY is about to reach 20 million...For me New York City Miami, and Los Angeles have the most diverse population in the nation...In NYC 35.9% of the population was foreign born..That shows a lot of diversity...Only Los Angeles and Miami beats NYC so I don't think Houston has a competition here....Houston people I know Houston is diverse but it is not even close ot NYC,LA and Miami....

Chicago just might be the most balanced population in the United States with well over a million African Americans. And the same number goes for caucasians. Chicago also has 800,000 hispanic citizens.

To put that into context, Chicago's hispanic population is double the city of Miami's entire population!

Miami,Los Angeles are the Hispanic capital of the country....Miami Metro Area has 5.4 million people...So Chicago has 10 million Hispanics....So what is Chicago's population?25 million? Miami has 3.6 million Hispanics...65.76% of the population out of the 5.4 million are Hispanics...Miami has almost 4.5 times more Hispanic population than Chicago...Kind of funny your joke though...

What you just said about farthest away from Latin America and Chicago is complete BS...New York-Spain would be #1...Chicago is closer to Mexico and Cuba than New York-Spain...Chicago-Mexico is 1200 miles and Chicago-Cuba is 1300 miles while NY-Spain is 3500 miles...Umm stop saying that Chicago is #1 in population of hispanics in something cuz they are not...And from a Latin American Country NY is 1320 miles away from Cuba while Chicago is 1350 miles...And from Mexico NY is almost 2000 while Chicago is 1200 miles...SO yeah seriously Chicago is not #1 in hispanics in anything whatsoever...

^ you're just babbling now. not even making sense. go outside and get some sun basement boy.

^ you're just babbling now. not even making sense. go outside and get some sun basement boy.

Funny you are..Unfortunately for you I get sun everyday and I always go out and hang out with friends...Funny...Basement friend..LOL!!!Maybe that is you..

ugh...that term 'hispanic' being used as a race.

ugh...that term 'hispanic' being used as a race.

It's annoying right?

very.

Yes, Hispanics are definitely not a race-but its the US Census Bureau themselves that has Hispanics listed as such. They should really go by ethnicity-that's more interesting too.

even as an ethnicity, hispanic is as vague a term as european, african or asian.

even as an ethnicity, hispanic is as vague a term as european, african or asian.
I have come to accept the term as a common ground.

What boils my balls sometimes is when people says, "oh, he looks Hispanic."

What the hell does that mean?

That covers everyone from a blond haired Argentine to a European Spaniard to a mestizo Mexican to a mulatto Dominican and even Africans.

Hell, there are Chinese Hispanics and Arab Hispanics too that immigrated to Latin America from their respective territories!

:gaah:

"oh look, he has two arms...he must be hispanic."

I resent the term "nationality" more then I do "ethnicity"-when people ask me what nationality I am, it makes me feel as if Im not an American by virtue of me not being white. I consider myself a national of the United States because this is where I was born and raised. Once a guy I met on a plane from Anchorage to Seattle asked me if I was dating anyone and I said yes, and he said "Is he Tongan like you or American?".....totally turned me off :runaway:

I know many people of Central Amercian and Mexican decent who detest the term Hispanic and prefer to be refered to as Latino.

What you just said about farthest away from Latin America and Chicago is complete BS...New York-Spain would be #1...Chicago is closer to Mexico and Cuba than New York-Spain...Chicago-Mexico is 1200 miles and Chicago-Cuba is 1300 miles while NY-Spain is 3500 miles...Umm stop saying that Chicago is #1 in population of hispanics in something cuz they are not...And from a Latin American Country NY is 1320 miles away from Cuba while Chicago is 1350 miles...And from Mexico NY is almost 2000 while Chicago is 1200 miles...SO yeah seriously Chicago is not #1 in hispanics in anything whatsoever...

Do you see NY on this list?

Anyways, since Hispanic isn't the correct word to describe Latin American people, is Latino correct... if people doesn't want to name every single nationality which are consider to be "hispanic"?

EXACTLY! That's what I don't understand. I am a dark brown haired boy with hazel eyes and white and I am 100% European and yes,I am from Central America. It just pisses me off how some people are so ignorant. I bet my life there are more blondes in Latin America than in the whole USA. I mean people from Portugal,Spain,England,Greece,Ireland,Russia,China,Japan,Africa immigrated to Latin America. Argentina is 97% white. It is just how Americans think that oh if you are black haired with almost black eyes and short with shadows below your eyes and a mustache you are hispanic. Complete act of ignorance.

I hate that also, people always think that I am "fresh off the boat"

I get Hispanics who tell me I look Hispanic (Im 100% Greek). Sometimes they say Puerto Rican or Cuban. However, I know black Cubans and Puerto Ricans, as well as white. Latin America is as diverse as any other continent.


Anyway, Chicagoland's diverse and prosperous Hispanic cummunity, is exploding with the 4th largest Hispanic population in the country. Some estimates put the Hispanic population in the city of Chicago alone at 1 million by 2010, and over 2 million in the metropolitan area.

I believe this whole complex with race and ethnicity is Bush's fault. It always is

San Antonio did pretty well,Not too suprised.

:gaah:

Hispanics are NOT a race!
i know.. is only the people who speak Spanish..

Can someone elaborate, then please?
