WLC Hispanic Culture Practice Test

Florida has the largest concentration of Cuban-Americans, with the core community centered in Miami-Dade County. This pattern started after the Cuban Revolution in 1959 and grew further during waves like the Mariel boatlift in 1980, continuing because Florida is geographically closest to Cuba and has long-established Cuban communities and institutions that support newcomers. In Miami and nearby areas, Cuban-owned businesses, churches, media, and cultural clubs create a strong hub that attracts and sustains a large Cuban-American population. Other states such as California, New York, and Texas have Cuban communities as well, but their numbers and density are smaller compared to Florida, which is why Florida is the best choice.
