Which is the largest single ethnic group population in San Francisco
The Chinese population in San Francisco makes up the largest ethnic group in the city of San Francisco. Their total population in the city is estimated to be about 152,620 in the 2000 Census. As of today they make up for 1/5th of the entire population of San Francisco.
San Francisco first saw Chinese immigrant workers in the 1860's during the gold rush and then there was a sudden increase in numbers during the mid 20th Century.
Most Chinese people today live in Chinatown but all are not restricted to this one area. You will find a number of Chinese people staying all over the city of San Francisco as well.
