The Great Ethiopian Escape... to Georgia? Not Quite, But Let's Dig In!
Ever wondered how many Ethiopians live in the land of peaches and peanuts (that's Georgia, the US one, folks), instead of the historic African nation? Well, buckle up, because we're about to embark on a census caper that's more exciting than counting sheep (although maybe not quite as sleep-inducing).
How Many Ethiopians Live In Georgia |
Not a Mass Migration, But a Definitely Delightful Diaspora
Fear not, history buffs! There hasn't been a sudden, secret swap of pyramids for pecan pie. The Ethiopian population in Georgia, USA is on the smaller side. Estimates suggest there are around 21,839 Ethiopians living their best lives in the Peach State, which works out to roughly 0.2% of Georgia's total population.
So, while they might not be the biggest group, they certainly add a vibrant flavor to the state's cultural tapestry. Imagine the epicurean delights – injera and grits anyone?
Where in Georgia Might You Find These Ethiopian Expats?
While Ethiopians can be found scattered across the state, the Atlanta area seems to be a particular hotspot. In fact, DeKalb County, just outside the city, boasts the largest concentration of Ethiopians in Georgia. Maybe there's a secret stash of Ethiopian coffee keeping everyone buzzing there? ☕️
Tip: Reading with intent makes content stick.
