About this data
Counts people who reported this ancestry (table B04006). People can report up to two ancestries, so the same person may be counted in two groups.
Several U.S. cities have a neighborhood known as Little Haiti. Census figures are published for cities, counties and ZIP codes rather than named neighborhoods, so the rankings here show where Haitian Americans live across whole places.
Figures are American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates and have margins of error, which are larger for small places.
