The largest proportion of Haitian-Americans lives in South Florida, New York, Washington, D. C., Philadelphia, Chicago, and Boston. According to the 2009 US Census, there are an estimated 1,000,000 Haitian-Americans living in the U.S. Background: Haitians that emigrated to the United States brought many of their cultural practices and ideologies to their communities. Many foreign-born Haitians went into the business sector, often setting up their own businesses.
