Full Diaspora Analysis (Immigrant + US-Born)

The true Haitian community: 561,670 immigrants + 246,990 US-born with Haitian ancestry = 808,660 total across 500 ZIP codes.

Key Insight

Previous analyses counted only Haiti-born immigrants (ACS B05006). By adding US-born individuals who report Haitian ancestry (ACS B04006), the true diaspora is 44% larger than immigrant-only counts. This changes everything: targeting, market sizing, and community density calculations.
