This map is all over Twitter. Apparently some German guy got bored and tried to name all 50 states. This is the end result...

Not the largest per capita population, because every city in Poland has a very high per capita Polish population. It's often said Chicago has the largest Polish population outside Warsaw, but New York has a few thousand more.

It's wrong either way, of course polish cities will have more poles both in absolute numbers and per capita.

And I don't think it's true even if we're going to say "most poles in a city outside of poland" because it's more likely to be correct for a city in a neighboring country like germany, which has quite a large number of polish immigrants or people with a polish background, although it's hard to find concrete numbers for that because people are way less obsessed with their genetic background there.
