The mix of ethnic groups in Chicago has varied over the history of the city, resulting in a diverse community in the twenty-first century. The changes in the ethnicity of the population have reflected the history and mass migrations of the nineteenth and twentieth century in North America, as well as internal demographic changes. The groups have been important in the development of the city as well as players in occasional conflicts. ==Twenty-first century== As of the 2010 census,〔(American Community Survey: Chicago city ).
