Europeans but US literally has some of the worst benefits.
Minnesota and sweden by far are the most poor
most of them are in government subsidized housing and they also have the most gang violence
somalis in canada, seattle, columbus, and Australia/NZ do well for themself mostly
somalis in the UK are doing fine but not great

America is the richest that’s all I know even uptis driving trucks are stacking money
I follow demographic data on Somalis in many countries. It’s same in almost all these countries. I’m sorry to say but that vast majority of Somali diaspora from Europe to North America to Australia are working poor people. It’s a fact.
The American stats on Somali house hold incomes is not accurate for obvious reasons explained by other posters. It's higher than whats reported on.
Also Somali American home ownership has trippled in the last 4 years, ever since they manage to find a solution to bypass a barrier that was preventing them from purchasing and building more homes: Some of the barrier was a cultural one where islamically we cannot receive or pay interests:

According to that article that was linked earlier, Minnesota, the state with the highest population of Somalis, has these statistics:
-50% of the Somali-American population are under the age of 22
-3 out of 5 Somali-Americans are not American born. They are foreign born.
Give it some time. We are slowly but surely moving our way up the class ladder. We are at the very bottom because 1. we are refugees starting at the bottom like all our diasporas, 2. our statistics are being dragged down by the elder foreign born generation, and 3. half our population is underaged and still in school.
I think given everything we already know, we are doing quite well for ourselves. Our home ownership rates has significantly increased and the MN community has a ton of Somali catered resources available to the locals.
This country offers a lot to our people and we are extracting what we can from it over time. It just takes time, hard work, and patience.
I wish the admins would ban these posts it’s just another way to FKD lol.

I am not from MN just so you know. Just wanted clarify some information shared on this thread
Minnesota Somalis have done extremely well for themselves, when you take it with the challenges and obstacles they came with and their economic contributions from the businesses they operate in Minneapolis cannot be understated: Below is an excerpt from 2006 study:
There is no question that Somali entrepreneurs are ambitious and hardworking people. Some of them work more than sixteen hours a day in a full-time job and at the same time run their own business. What they have accomplished in less than ten years is quite remarkable. Somali entrepreneurs and other new immigrants, such as Latinos and Asians, are overwhelmingly responsible for revitalizing old and neglected commercial corridors in south Minneapolis, such as Nicollet Avenue and Lake Street, and University Avenue in Saint Paul.
In 1994 there were no significant Somali businesses to speak of in Minnesota. Today, we estimate that there are over 550 Somali-run and managed businesses in this state.1 It is an amazing accomplishment for people who have been displaced by war and forced to leave their families, homes, and assets behind. The stories of Somali entrepreneurs in the Twin Cities are unparalleled and unique. This brief essay highlights not only the visible business achievements of the Somali community in the Twin Cities, but also its shortcomings and what can be done about them. Throughout this essay, I focus on business cases. All of the people are real and these are the true
