Maryland boasts of four of the nation’s top ten most culturally diverse places, more than any other state including richly colorful California.
Gaithersburg, Germantown, Sliver Spring and Rockville have population that enrich them in terms of diversity along cultural, ethnoracial and linguistic lines according to a ranking compiled by Wallethub, which also took into account the place of birth of the population in the cities.
But it is New Jersey, which leads the list of most diverse cities in the United States.
“The U.S. today is a melting pot of cultures, thanks to rapid ethnic and racial diversification of the past four decades. If the trend continues, America will be more colorful than ever by 2044, at which point no single ethnic group will constitute the majority in the U.S. for the first time,” Wallethub said on its website.
New York City is ranked 6th on the list, while California’s Oakland and San Jose cities are placed 7th and 8th on the list. Wallethub measured diversity of 500 most populated American cities.
