Diversity/Immigration Numbers

7251 Views 62 Replies 21 Participants Last post by  Robert Stark
I figure that a thread dedicated to actual statistics might be more useful than the previous Most Diverse City threads, which seemed to always degenerate into name calling.

well here are some 2003 metro NY stats from http://uscis.gov (including NYC; Nassau-Suffolk, Newark, NJ; Bergen-Passaic, NJ; Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon, NJ; and Jersey City, NJ)

These numbers are only for NY metro legal immigration in 2003. Just one year's immigration. This does not include illegal immigration. To make the list a bit shorter, I dropped countries that sent less than 200 people (legally)

There's a huge number of Chinese as well. NY has 4 chinatowns now (1 in Manhattan, 1 in Queens, and 2 in Brooklyn). The ones in Manhattan and Queens are huge, almost like small cities. LA also has a very large suburban "chinatown" - the San Gabriel Valley. I read that there are something like 600,000 Asians in that area.
I dont know why but I am surprise about India.. a huge part of US Immigration

yep i know, Spain alone it´s taken one of every three immigrants coming to the EU, those numbers are already outdated, since the goverment is making an extra process to legalized immigrants and we´ll have a brand new report after it ,so in a couple of months about half more million immigrants will be added.

BTW, it´s taken from the last census :

this is a homemade table by the spanish forumer Aquarius, with the total number of immigrants, and the variation per year and country of origin,





you can have a look to the press note that the Spanish National Statistics

Institute released a week ago here : http://www.ine.es/prensa/np370.pdf

and you can check the full report here: http://www.ine.es/inebase/cgi/um?M=/t20/e245&O=inebase&N=&L=0
