Where we live

Check out the U.S. cities with the highest proportion of residents born in:

  • India: Millbourne, PA; Plainsboro Center, NJ; Iselin/Edison, NJ; Yuba City, CA
  • Pakistan: Madison Park, NJ; Herricks, NY; Lincolnia, VA; Boonton, NJ; Herndon, VA
  • Bangladesh: Hamtramck, MI; Millbourne; Hatfield, PA; Hudson, NY; Housatonic, MA
  • Afghanistan: Springfield, VA; Fremont/Newark/Union City, CA; Upper Brookville, NY

What’s interesting is the cities don’t overlap all that much.

The data doesn’t include 2nd genners and otherwise doesn’t totally jive: Millbourne, PA, is listed as having 29.3% Indian-born, but it’s famous for being the first city with a Indian-American majority.

The most suspicious thing is the site doesn’t reveal the source of the data, so take it wth a mountain of salt. As the saying goes, statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is interesting. What they conceal? Vital.
