Metro Los Angeles is home to the largest populations of the following peoples outside of their respective homelands: Armenians, Belizeans, Cambodians, Filipinos, Guatemalans, Iranians, Koreans, Mexicans, Salvadorans, Saudis, Taiwanese, Thai, and Vietnamese. It is additionally home to the largest communities, in the US, of Australians, British, Burmese (recently overtaken by Indianapolis), Canadians, Indonesians, and Mongolians. If we include transplants in the conversation, California (and likely Los Angeles) is home to the largest population of Alaskans, Arizonans, Chamorros, Coloradans,, Hawaiians, Minnesotans, Mississippians, Nevadans, New Mexicans, Samoans, Utahns, and Washingtonians outside of their respective states and territories.
Metro Los Angeles is also home to many enclaves, including Chinatown, Filipinotown, Cambodia Town, Little Arabia, Little Bangladesh, Little Brazil, Little Ethiopia, Little India, Little Odessa, Little Osaka, Little Taipei, Little Toyko, two Koreatowns (in Buena Park and Midtown Los Angeles), two Little Manilas (in Long Beach and West Covina), Little Saigon, Little Seoul, Tehrangeles, and Thai Town.
Historically, Los Angeles was also home to a Bronzeville, Chihuihuita, several Chinatowns (in Anaheim, Old Chinatown, Orange, Pasadena, and Santa Ana), Frenchtown, Greek Town, numerous Japanese enclaves (Crenshaw Seinan, Furasato, J. Flats, Seinan, and Uemachi), Little Havana, Little Holland, Little Italy, Little Manila, Old Koreatown, Russian Flats, and Sonoratown.
There are many more communities, though, who have never coalesced into local enclaves.
