I've reviewed these figures for New York MSA.
So first of all, there aren't 52 countries with more than 15,000 "foreign-born" residents of the New York MSA born there, but 53. For some reason you forgot Chile.
Then of course we should add Puerto Rico, so that's 54 countries and overseas territories with more than 15,000 in New York MSA.
In parenthesis, the 5 largest communities of people born outside the US living in the New York MSA are the following:
- Dominican Republic: 571,931
- China (incl. HK): 434,167
- Puerto Rico: 339,656
- Mexico: 331,605
- India: 323,708
Puerto Rico is #3.
About the other US overseas territories (Guam, US Virgin Islands, etc.), in total there are 11,822 people born there who live in the New York MSA, so none of them can make it in the list with a 15,000 threshold.
About the other countries, what's annoying is the ACS doesn't detail all the countries. For a very populated metro area like New York that means some countries may hide in the "other" categories.
The "other Eastern Europe" category contains 35,133 people. After doing some research, I found out that the Census bureau apparently extracted "Serbia" from "Yugoslavia" recently, and downgraded "Yugoslavia" in the "other Eastern Europe" category. It's possible that a lot of these 35,133 people are in fact natives of Serbia but still listed as natives of "Yugoslavia". Indeed the number for Serbia (4,870) looks quite low. The only other possible countries in the "other Eastern Europe" category are Kosovo, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Estonia.
So potentially that's one more country there for New York MSA if more than 15,000 people are from Serbia.
Then there is the "other Western Asia" category with 18,833 people. I count the following countries in this category: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Palestinian territories, and possibly also Cyprus. That's probably too many countries for one to have more than 15,000 natives, unless it's say 15,001 people from the Palestinian territories, and the remaining 3,832 from the other countries. Not the most likely scenario, but who knows.
Then there is the "other Western Africa" category with 28,689 people. Here this category includes some important countries of origin of immigrants in the New York area, like Guinea. There is a growing Guinean community in NYC, yet the Census bureau has still not detailed Guinea from the "other" category. In general, I find there is a very Anglocentric approach to Africa by the US census bureau. It's essentially Anglophone African countries which are listed separately, and the Francophone African countries tend to be ignored. Problem is, there is a fast growing Francophone African community in NYC.
So not only Guinea is missing, but in fact all the Francophone West African countries, like Senegal and Mali. It's impossible to say whether any of them crosses the 15,000 threshold, but Guinea might. So that would be one more country for the New York MSA.
Then there is the "other Caribbean" category with 33,840 people, and the "West Indies" category with 13,915 people. In total 47,755 who could come from the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, St Kits and Nevis, and St Lucia, and possibly also from the following non-sovereign territories: Anguilla, Aruba, Caiman Islands, Curaçao, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, St Martin, Sint Maarten, Turks and Caicos, and British Virgin Islands.
Possibly that could add one or two more territories/countries to the New York tally, unless some people from reported countries like Trinidad and Tobago or Dominica wrote "West Indies" or some obscure reference in the forms which placed them in the "other" category.
In total, the tally for the New York MSA could be from 54 to 58.
Then there are the countries which are just short of the 15,000 threshold, but which could cross the threshold if children of US citizens born in these countries were included, like Hungary (14,725), Uruguay (13,307), Nicaragua (13,121). I think Hungary would most likely cross the threshold if the children of US citizens were included. For the other two it's hard to guess.
So there.
