Bahamian American
Bahamian Americans are citizens or residents of the
United States of Bahamian ancestry. The 2000 U.S. census counted 31,984 people of Bahamian ancestry. Most (about 21,000) live in
Miami, Florida, with the Bahmaian community centered in
Coconut Grove. There is also a growing Bahamian-American population in
Atlanta, Georgia, evident from the recent opening of an honorary consulate in the Georgian capital.
