Flocking to Palm Beach County over the past decade, immigrants from Haiti now represent the largest concentration of foreign-born people living here by far, according to data recently released by the Census Bureau.

And "it's going to continue," said Wismick St. Jean, a Haitian activist and business owner. "There's no doubt about that."

The number of Haitians, pegged at nearly 27,800 in 2000, had grown by a third to about 38,500 by the second half of the decade, according to surveys collected from 2005 to 2009 as part of the American Communities Survey.

That's far more than the next-largest group, Cubans, at 23,476 and Mexicans at 21,500. Haitians also were the top immigrant group in 2000, but by a smaller margin.
