Cape Verdeans: New Bedford, MA

Decent number of Cape Verdeans in Boston too. That whole southeastern part of New England is the epicenter of Lusophone immigration to the US.

Here's an old thread on this topic.

North Carolina doesn't have any particularly huge or surprising immigrant enclaves--it has little history of immigration after the colonial period, and then relatively less than other New South cities since much of its growth is various mid-sized strong performers rather than the large cosmopolitan cities which conventionally attract immigrants historically.

Much of the present immigrant diversity is from the Triangle's tech-heavy economy attracting skilled immigrants, the large agricultural and meatpacking sectors in the rural half of the state, and refugee resettlement (or secondary migration in the case of the Hmong.)

Haitians: Mount Olive (work in the Pickle industry)
Hmong: The Unifour area, particularly rural Burke County
Indians: Morrisville and the general area near RTP
Karen: Carrboro
Mexicans: Decent sized populations in most cities, like the rest of the country, but large population working in ag related industries in rural towns, such as Siler City, Asheboro, Sampson County, etc. Robbins in Moore County is majority Latino. Similar distribution for Central Americans but skews more rural IIRC.
Montagnards (Degar): Greensboro, which has the largest Montagnard community outside Vietnam. Decently large communities in other NC cities too.
Moravians: Historically a significant community in the western part of the state, and founded the Salem of Winston-Salem. Cultural identity has fallen away but the Moravian church is decently large.
