Cuban Americans

Cuban Americans (Spanish: cubanoestadounidenses[1] or cubanoamericanos[2]) 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.[3]

Many metropolitan areas throughout the United States have significant Cuban American populations.[4] Florida (2,000,000 in 2023) has the highest concentration of Cuban Americans in the United States. Over 1.2 million Cuban Americans reside in Miami-Dade County (home to 52 percent of all Cuban immigrants in the U.S.),[5] where they are the largest single ethnic group and constitute a majority of the population in many municipalities.[6][7][8][9]

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,[10] counting a number up to 140,000 individuals identifying as such.

About 60,000 and more reside in the Greater Houston[10] area, whereas some other 20,000 individuals can be found in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, San Antonio and Austin areas altogether.

The states of Georgia, Kentucky,[11] Nevada and Illinois also host following fastly growing amounts of Cuban Americans.

An estimated 60,000 (and growing) Cuban Americans now live in Louisville alone.[12]
