Fouta Tooro	Cincinnati	5,000	Lockland	Hartwell, Westwood, Florence	Islam	Senegal	Pulaar	75	A cross-cultural worker in Cincinnati estimates the population of Fouta Toora in Cincinnati Metro at 5,000. Census data for West African populations like the Fouta Toora do not exist therefore numbers are based on estimates from workers or organizations in the city.

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.

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.

Approximately 5% of this number is Sikh (9,448). Using census information instead of community estimates helps compare populations of people groups in various cities.

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	San Diego	15,000	City Heights		Islam	Somalia	Somali	72
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.

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.

Westward Square Apartments

The apartments are in the Gulton neighborhood where many Afghans coming to Houston make their first home. Fifty-seven percent of the neighborhood are foreign-born.
