Communities of Rhode Island

Many varied communities make up the rich social fabric of our state.

Rhode Island is home to an array of communities and cultures, including large immigrant populations. One in eight Rhode Islanders has migrated here from another country, with the most common nations of origin being the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Portugal, Cabo Verde, and India. Providence, in particular, was recently ranked among the ten most ethnically diversified midsize cities in the United States. That colorful spectrum – of languages, identities, and lived experience – makes our city and state vibrant places to live.
