Armenians in the San Francisco Bay Area

The Armenian community of the San Francisco Bay Area has an impact on some businesses, churches, and politics of San Francisco. An ABC7 News article from 2021 says the population of the Greater Bay Area is at around 50,000.[1]

According to the Census 2021 estimates, there are 3,000 Armenians in Alameda County (0.2% of the county's population), 2,700 in San Mateo County, and 2,700 Armenians in San Francisco proper (0.3% of the county).[2]

Despite the community being overshadowed by the much larger Los Angeles-area community, Armenian-American culture and people have a longstanding presence in the Bay Area.
