Cedar Rapids is Iowa's second-largest city and the heart of Linn County, home to over 137,000 residents and the largest Czech heritage community in the United States — commonly called "the Czech Capital of America." About 7% of the population is Hispanic/Latino, and Cedar Rapids hosts substantial Congolese, Burmese/Karen, and Sudanese refugee populations alongside Vietnamese and Mexican-American communities. Spanish, Swahili, Karen, Arabic, Vietnamese, and French are all widely spoken in the neighborhoods surrounding Kirkwood Community College and the Collins Aerospace corridor.
