Somali diaspora size 2021 estimate

[The truth seeker]

Immigrant groups that succeed in America tend to fall into Anglo culture while ones that fail tend to assimilate into hood/ ghetto culture .America has been more selective whith its immigrants since the 90s and oboma cut the refugee gravy train in 2009

 

[Garaad Awal]

400k Canada thought it was like 150k

He is high. There is no reality where Somalis exceed 100k in all of Canada including Djiboutians, Somali Ethio & Siju.

He is probably lying Somalis are a very tiny minority in America and Canada
There are only 1 million muslims in America and most of them are made up of Arabs /pakistanis

 

[LilBang]

This is unrelated by why do Somalis generally live in americas most irrelevant states section 8 is avalible everywhere

The reason why is they most likely just want to keep a low profile there

 

[LilBang]

There are more Vietnamese in Minnesota than all Somalis combined. Somalis will assimilate into ghetto culture due to us being poor and living on government assistance. The rest who are educated will fall into corporate America like Asians and live far away from most Somalis

You need to stop thinking this way bro just because a Somali family lives in the hood doesnt automatically mean that their kids there going down a dark path its just that they need an active father figure that actually does his job and is there for them not only physically but also financially and mentally and emotionally there for them

 

[LilBang]

Exactly so is exaggerated the numbers
. Somalis are definitely no more than 60k. There's even more Ghanaians in America than Somalis.

Stop coping maam theres already almost a population of 200k Somalis in the states its almost 2025 now so you can stop downplaying our population smh

 

[LilBang]

Outside of Minnesota the average American regardless of ethnicity has no idea who Somalis are .

Matter of fact most Americans would not be able to point Columbus or Minneapolis on a map due to them being 4th tier cites facing economic decline located in the middle of nowhere

I just dont get it man why do you love to bash the Midwest every time where you have the chance? smh

That makes them 1% of Swedens population? that’s insane

Germany is probably true because that’s where the new qaxootis go. Netherlands I’m not sure about, lots of reer dutch left the country for UK and scandi

This includes Somalis born in Sweden. Germany currently has the fastest-growing Somali population in Europe. I live in the Netherlands, there are 45,000 Somalis in 2024. Additionally, there are around 25,000 Dutch Somali citizens living in the UK.

Somalis live actually more spread apart than what people think. Only 64k of out of 164.00 American Somalis live in Minnesota , Maine is only 10 000 similar to California Somalis so the rest of the 90 000 live scattered in other states and cities in America.

Somalis are not even 1% of Minneapolis population. There is less Somalis than any other group you can think of. There is more Asians, Latinos, Arabs and Africans than there are Somalis.

The only reason why Minnesota Somalis get more exaggerated attention in the media is because of Islamophobia and Somalis civic participation rates are higher there, in so far as they get involved in political leadership. But it mostly comes from a loud rightwing nutcase political pundits from outside of Minneapolis. Minneapolis is like 85% democrat socialist.

The ones in North America will be fully madow in one generation

We will have a noticeable wealth gap in 15 years due to the uneducated and unemployed falling into the poverty cycle and the educated professionals fitting into corporate America

There are more Vietnamese in Minnesota than all Somalis combined .Somalis will assimilate into madow culture due to us being poor and living on government assistance .The rest who are educated will fall into corporate America like Asians and live far away from most Somalis

You are definitely not an American Somali. The 2nd generation don't blend in and assimilate with Black Americans(Madows) and other nationalities, especially outside professional space. Even in School Somalis just stick together, attend Islamic schools and stay connected to the Masjid.

Somalis have low employment rates & take the least amount of assistance.

On the state's so-called "self-support index" -- based either on working at least 30 hours a week or departing from welfare altogether --Somalis in Dakota County are earning a rating of 80 percent vs. 72 percent for whites, she said.

Minnesota Somali statewide employment rates is similar to the rest as well. Its 20% higher than Black Americans

Statewide, the figures are 78 percent for whites, 75 percent for Somalis, 76 percent for other African immigrants and 58 percent for U.S.-born blacks and American Indians. Hispanics -- most native-born -- and Asians, including Hmong, have rates in the same range as whites and African immigrants.

Somalis settled areas in Minnesota operated more like self- sustaining neighborhoods and gain employment in larger parts by other Somalis

Separated from the rest of Minneapolis by the Mississippi River and two freeways, the neighborhood operates like a self-sustaining village. “That’s allowed it to develop on its own and retain its character,” said Michael Tolan, of the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota.

“The Somali community is self-sustaining. They do not need to interact with other communities because they live, work and play in neighbourhoods that are almost 100% Somali,” he said, adding that it was difficult for young Somalis to get decent employment outside their community.

Somalis are constantly being praised for our unity , togetherness and self-sufficiency



In the school system Somalis perform closer to the state average, above hispanic and black americans.

Mismeasurement of the Somali

It is entirely possible that Somalis have average IQs much higher than what has been thrown around on this board. I used state standardized test data for two high schools in Minnesota that are 100% Somali to show this possibility. The first is Ubah Medical Academy in Hopkins and the second is...

I think Somalis in 10 years time will be more like the Chinese, Indian and Jewish communities, who are also tight knitted just like they are.
