The Armenian Genocide began 100 years ago when the Ottoman government began a targeted extermination of Armenians, resulting in as many as 1.5 million casualties in the territory that would become modern day Turkey.  

A century later, Social Explorer examines where Armenian and Turkish immigrants settled in America. There are 470,904 U.S. residents claiming Armenian ancestry and 193,615 claiming Turkish ancestry.  Each group makes up just a tiny percent of the nation's total population.

For a closeup of immigration patterns, view this side-by-side map of Armenian-Americans and Turkish-Americans. Zoom in more to see where both groups live today (based on American Community Survey data from 2009-13).

The next map offers a closeup of New York City.  The green dots represent Armenian Americans and the orange dots represent Turkish Americans, living near each other in the big city.
