Home to 4 of the top 10 most culturally diverse cities
Four Montgomery County cities were placed in the top ten 2023 list created by the personal-finance website Wallethub. The site conducted an in-depth analysis of the diverse cities in the U.S.—with Gaithersburg placing first, Silver Spring placing second, Germantown fourth, and Rockville tenth.
Wallethub started investigating cultural diversity in the U.S. after President Donald Trump signed executive orders targeting immigration-policy reform. Researchers compared 501 of the largest U.S. cities across three key metrics: ethno-racial diversity, linguistic diversity and birthplace diversity.
