Fouta Tooro | New York | 7,600 | Bed-Stuy (Brooklyn) | Flatbush, East New York | Islam | Senegal | Pulaar | 78 | In 2021, a Pulaar Speaking Association leader in Brooklyn said 6,000 households paid dues to their association. At least 80% of these are Fouta Tooro as there are some members who are Fulani from Guinea or other areas. Among Fouta Tooro, there are families in NYC but a majority are individual males whose wives and families remain in Africa. The families that are together in NYC are very large. As a result, if 80% of 6,000 member households are Fouta Tooro (4,800), and an average household size is conservatively two people, double that amount is 9,600. Community leaders report 2,000 Fouta Tooro left New York City during COVID-19 which leaves 7,600 left in the city. |

The Indian Consulate in San Francisco once claimed that 25% of Indians in the Bay Area were from the Punjab. Most Indians from the Punjab in the United States are Sikh, perhaps 90%. The American Community Survey 2019 estimated 435,133 Asian Indians lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. Twenty-five percent of that amount is 108,783, so 40,000 is a conversative estimate for the local Sikh population. |

Satmar Jewish | New York | 156,744 | Williamsburg (Brooklyn) | Kiryas Joel | Judaism | Hungary | Yiddish | 99 | Population estimate was derived from the Historical Atlas of Hasidism by Marcin Wodziński. At the time of the book’s research (2016), there were 21,165 Satmar Jewish households in Metro New York. For a 2021 estimate, five more years were added at a 4.3% annual growth rate times an average household size of 6 (see Census Based Estimation of the Hasidic Jewish Population by Joshua Comenetz and census data on Kiryas Joel). That total comes to an estimated 156,744 Satmar in Metro New York in 2021. |

Somali | Columbus, OH | 45,000 | Northland | N/A | Islam | Somalia | Somali | 79 | The American Community Survey 2019 estimated 16,006 people with Somali ancestry in the Columbus area. Census numbers are often undercounts, especially for groups suspicious of government representatives. Therefore, the number of Somalis in the Columbus area is likely around 45,000, which is the estimate given by the Somali Community Project. |

Somali | Seattle | 30,000 | SeaTac | Tukwila, Rainer Valley | Islam | Somalia | Somali | 77 | The American Community Survey 2019 estimated 14,486 people with Somali ancestry in the Seattle area. Because census numbers are often undercounts, especially for groups suspicious of government representatives, the number of Somalis in the Seattle area is likely much higher. Local community estimates, including a paper written on behalf of the city, most often estimate 30,000 Somalis in the Seattle area. |
Somali | Minneapolis | 80,000 | Cedar-Riverside | Lyndale, Phillips West | Islam | Somalia | Somali | 73 | The American Community Survey 2019 estimated 56,303 people with Somali ancestry in the Minneapolis area. Because census numbers are often undercounts, especially for groups suspicious of government representatives, the number of Somalis in the Twin Cities is likely around 80,000 which is the estimated number from City Vision. |
Somali | Nashville | 5,000 | Southeast Nashville | Larchwood | Islam | Somalia | Somali | 61 | An academic article in the Southeastern Geographer states, “Community leaders and social workers who engage with Tennessee’s Somali community estimate that Davidson County is home to around 5,000 Somalis. An accurate enumeration of Somalis in Nashville is difficult to generate due to poor participation in the decennial census. However, a sizable community is evident on the city’s landscape through the clustering of the ethnic business and religious establishments and noticeable concentrations of Somalis living along Murfreesboro Pike.” |

Somali | Toronto | 61,260 | Etobicoke | N/A | Islam | Somalia | Somali | 78 | Statistics Canada 2016 estimated 25,550 people in the Greater Toronto Area with Somali ethnic origin. It is widely believed, however, that census counts grossly underestimate the size of the Somali population. A federal report released under the Access to Information Act estimated 150,000 ethnic Somalis live in Canada, much higher than the 62,550 2016 Statistic Canada Ethnic Origin Somali estimate. Using the ethnic origin estimates, 40.84% of Somalis in Canada live in the Greater Toronto Area. If using the likelier estimate of 150,000 Somalis in Canada, 40.84% equals an estimated 61,260 Somalis living in the Greater Toronto Area. To compare with other cities, the Somali ancestry number in Minneopolis/St. Paul is over twice that of the Greater Toronto Area. |

Yemeni Arab | New York | 20,000 | Bay Ridge (Brooklyn) | Bronx | Islam | Yemen | Sanaani Arabic | 72 | The American Community Survey 2017 counted 14,563 people born in Yemen living in Metro New York. Yemenis typically have large families, so when counting American-born Yemeni children, the number of Yemenis would at least number 20,000. Using census information instead of community estimates helps compare populations of people groups in various cities. However, the population is likely larger than this number. Some articles estimate 50,000 Yemenis live in New York City alone. |

Al-Noor Masjid
Al-Noor Society was established in 1987 out of the need for a Islamic Center to meet the needs of the community. The Friday congregation is the largest in Texas. The facility is centrally located about two blocks from the major freeway U.S. 59/I 69 @ Hillcroft. Al-Noor has invited numerous world renowned scholars for special events for the last thirty (30) years. In 2012, with the goal to produce Islamic scholars (Ulema) locally, Al-Noor Institute of Islamic Sciences (AIIS) was established. This institute offers three-year fulltime and five-year part time Alim programs.
The Afghan Village
The owner of The Afghan Village restaurant has lived in Houston since 2012 after serving as an interpreter for the military. The restaurant prepares box meals that are distributed to refugees for their first meal when entering the country to meet requirements of a law that requires agencies to serve refugees culturally appropriate meals when they arrive at their destination.
