Top 10 US Cities With the Largest Pakistani Communities

Did you know that more than 650,000 people of Pakistani descent now call the United States home? But where did they build their new lives? In this episode of Diaspora Atlas, we count down the Top 10 U.S. metropolitan areas with the largest Pakistani communities and explore the stories behind these communities. From Baltimore and Atlanta to Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas–Fort Worth, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Houston, and New York, discover where Pakistani Americans have built homes, businesses, mosques, restaurants, cultural organizations, and community networks across the United States. The population figures are based on U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020–2024 5-Year Estimates. The Pakistani population measure includes people who identified as Pakistani alone or together with one or more other ancestries or origins. Behind every number is a story of migration, family, faith, business, culture, opportunity, and generations building a new home far from Pakistan. This is Diaspora Atlas. We follow their journey. 🌎 Subscribe to Diaspora Atlas for more stories about diaspora communities, migration, cities, culture, and where people build new lives around the world. #PakistaniAmerican #PakistaniCommunity #DiasporaAtlas #PakistaniAmericans #USA
