South Vancouver competes with Richmond to have the highest proportion of immigrants in all of BC. South Vancouver barely out does Richmond with 100,335 immigrants, who make up 59.1% of all people in the city. 58.2% of Richmond's population are immigrants who were not born in Canada.
But while the two cities have a similar proportion of immigrants, South Vancouver is more ethnically diverse. 73.9% of poeple who live in South Vancouver are visible minorities, compared to "only" 65.1% in Richmond. This makes South Vancouver the most diverse city in all of Canada - more than places like Brampton (57%), and Mississauga (49%).
