It is currently estimated that there are between 40,000 and 45,000 Chinese residents in Argentina, about half of whom are Taiwanese. According to the latest Argentine Census in 2001, the number of Asians who settled permanently in Argentina was 13,812. Currently, the Chinese residents are concentrated in metropolitan areas. In the Federal Capital, the Chinese population predominates in the neighborhoods (barrios) of Belgrano, Centro, Barrio Norte, Almagro, Constitución and Once.
They are distributed in a more heterogeneous manner in the province of Buenos Aires, in Vicente López, Avellaneda, La Plata, and Burzaco. The Buenos Aires Chinatown is composed of a small area in the neighborhood of Belgrano. It is more commercial than residential, running through four blocks of the streets Arribeños, Mendoza, and Montañeses.
