Where Do 650,000 Pakistanis Actually Live in US?

Where do Pakistani Americans live—and how have they built communities across the United States? In this episode of Diaspora Compass, we count down 10 U.S. metro areas with large Pakistani American populations. From Baltimore and Atlanta to Houston and New York, discover the neighborhoods, businesses, mosques, and community centers that tell the story of Pakistani life in America. Explore Brooklyn’s Little Pakistan, Chicago’s Devon Avenue, the communities of Dallas–Fort Worth, and the people and places connecting generations through food, faith, festivals, and shared traditions. Which metro area takes the top spot? And which community might surprise you? Population figures refer to metropolitan areas, not city limits, and use the 2020–2024 American Community Survey estimates featured in this episode. 💬 Which city surprised you most? Tell us where you’re watching from—and which diaspora we should explore next.
