Cuban Americans (Spanish: cubanoestadounidenses[3] or cubanoamericanos[4]) are Americans who immigrated from or are descended from immigrants from Cuba. As of 2023, Cuban Americans were the fourth largest Hispanic and Latino American group in the United States after Mexican Americans, Stateside Puerto Ricans and Salvadoran Americans.[1]
Many metropolitan areas throughout the United States have significant Cuban American populations.[5] Florida (2,000,000 in 2023) has the highest concentration of Cuban Americans in the United States. Over 1,200,000 Cuban-Americans reside in Miami-Dade County, where they are the largest single ethnic group and constitute a majority of the population in many municipalities.[6][7][8]
Greater Miami has by far the highest concentration of Cuban Americans of any metropolitan area, with an estimate of 2,000,000 individuals identifying as such. Along with Greater Miami and its surroundings, Tampa (200,621) and Jacksonville (up to 7,000) compose another portion of the Cuban American population in the state of Florida.
As per 2024, the second state with the highest Cuban American population is Texas, counting a number up to 140,000 individuals identifying as such.
About 60,000 and more reside in the Greater Houston area, whereas some other 20,000 individuals can be found in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, San Antonio and Austin areas altogether.
A thousand Cuban Americans also happen to be spread out across West Texas.
California takes place as the third state with the highest Cuban American population in the country, home to more than 100,000 people, of whom 80,000 of these are in the Greater Los Angeles area; another 23,000 and more individuals are spread out over the Inland Empire region and its neighboring counties, going all the way down to San Diego and its surrounding areas.
Another 20,000 and more Cuban Americans are present in Northern California, mainly all over the San Francisco Bay Area. Some other thousands therefore are also spread out across Central Valley, California.
Following significant long standing numbers of Cuban Americans can be found in the Eastern United States, primarily in New Jersey and New York.
The states of Georgia, Kentucky,[9] Illinois and Nevada also host following fastly growing amounts of Cuban Americans.
As of today, the three states with most Cuban Americans are Florida, Texas and California.
