As a result, according to "Latinx Immigrants" from the International and Cultural Psychology book series, as of 2018 there were over a million Argentines living abroad.

The majority of Argentine immigrants headed to metropolitan areas, especially New York City, where 20 percent of them lived in the 1970s.

In the 1980s, that percentage increased to just over 23 percent, and the 1990 U.S. Census recorded that New York City had 17,363 Argentine Americans and Los Angeles, 15,115.

With the goal of helping its Argentine population, the government of the city created several organizations such as the Argentine-American Chamber of Commerce, which that established relations between Argentina and the United States.

Argentine Americans exhibit a rate of 39.5% of holders of bachelor's, graduate, or professional degrees, contrasted with 27.5% of the overall U.S. population.

Among the outstanding people are actresses Alexis Bledel, Julie Gonzalo, Olivia Hussey and Anya Taylor-Joy, actor Lorenzo Lamas, journalist Andrés Oppenheimer, sportscaster Andrés Cantor, musicians Lalo Schifrin and Kevin Johansen, businessmen Jim Farley and Jorge M. Pérez, writer Fabian Nicieza and athletes Benjamin Cremaschi, Marcelo Balboa, Diana Taurasi, Martin Gramatica, Pablo Mastroeni and Claudio Reyna.
