What is the largest ethnic community in Chicago?

Answer 1

Many. Back at the turn of the century many Europeans immigrated to Chicago. Mostly Italians and Irish at the time. But not to bore you and to speed foward, Chicago has every ethnic nationality you can think of. In the last 20 years the Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Mexican and Arab populations have grown the most.

The Polish population in Chicago is only exceeded by one other city in the world that being Warsaw, Poland. There are blocks on Archer Avenue where the signs are in Polish, Spanish and Vietnamese all on the same block. On the North side, it's English, Spanish, Arabic and Korean.

Answer 2

Chicago is an extremely diverse city. There are Chicagoans of Black, Mexican, Chinese, Irish, German, Italian, Swedish, English, Bulgarian, Romanian, Greek, Slovak, Lithuanian, Polish, Czech, Serbian, Macedonian, Russian, Ukrainian, Filipino, Indian, Pakistani, Arab, Assyrian, and Puerto Rican heritage. While these are the highest percentages, there are other smaller ethnic groups that can be found throughout the city.
