I was jusy trying to compile he figures, Overseas Pakistanis or people of Pakistani orgin. The biggest numbers are in Saudi with an estimated 900,000 followed by UK with some 770,000. Can't get hold of US figures ??? any ideas guys...

I think US would figure after the UK and before UAE, which hosts like 450,000 Pakistanis..

Guys help ??

the number of pakistanis in saudi arabia from what i understand is closer to 1 million. the number in the US is said to be close to half a million.

either 2.2 million or 220,000 in UK.

I've heard around 300,000 - 350,000 in and around Toronto (GTA). I don't know about the rest of Canada. Though, I'm not 100% sure about the figures.

around 1 million nationals of pakistani decent in the UK

guys use some common sense!

Thanks for the figures guys,, but can some one get their hands on some official figures, remember having seen some govt. of Pakistan figures but can't get round to them

Here are the official figures...

Here is another link




Total UK population
Asians make up just over 3.5% of the total UK population - about 2,084,000 out of nearly 58,800,000
Of these nearly 1.8% are Indian - 1,054,000
1.25% are Pakistani - 747,000
And just under 0.5% are Bangladeshi - 283,000
Or the ratio of Indians : Pakistanis : Bangladeshis = 10 : 7 : 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Distribution between the constituent parts of the UK
Well over 96% of all Asians in the UK live in England itself - over 2 million
Over 43% live in London and the South-East alone
Less than 4% (under 75,000) live in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined
About 2.5% (under 49,000) live in Scotland, 1% (22,000) in Wales, and less than 0.1% (2,500) in Northern Ireland

didnt knew that pak+bangladeshis are so small i numbers. Its less then 2% of total population!

In all honesty the Pakistani and Bangladeshi figure is higher according to official experts. Many among the population did not fill out their census forms and they estimate the Pakistani population to be around a million and the Bengalis around 500,000.
