Kenyan-American
Kenyan Americans are an ethnic group of Americans of Kenyan descent. As of the 2010 census, there were an estimated 92,638 Kenyan-born persons living in the United States. Most Kenyan Americans are concentrated in Seattle, Texas, Maryland, Georgia, New York, North Carolina, and the greater Washington, D.C. area.
