The main reason immigrants chose to live in the east coast cities, was economic reality. The large numbers of Irish immigrants tended to come to America with little money, just enough to get them to the city. Therefore, they focused on getting jobs in the factories of the northern cities at the time. German immigrants, who were more likely to arrive with some money and skills, had the ability to move to different parts of the colonies such as the south.
