According to the latest statistics conducted by ISTAT,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://demo.istat.it/str2009/index.html |title=Statistiche demografiche ISTAT |publisher=Demo.istat.it |access-date=30 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110117015639/http://demo.istat.it/str2009/index.html |archive-date=17 January 2011}}</ref> approximately 9.5% of the population consists of non-Italians. About half of the immigrant population consists of those of various other European origins (chiefly Romanian, Polish, Ukrainian, and Albanian) numbering a combined total of 131,118 or 4.7% of the population. The remaining 4.8% are those with non-European origins, chiefly [[Filipinos]] (26,933), Bangladeshis (12,154), and Chinese (10,283).

The [[Esquilino (rione of Rome)|Esquilino]] ''[[Rioni of Rome|rione]]'', off [[Termini Station (Rome)|Termini Railway Station]], has evolved into a largely immigrant neighbourhood. It is perceived as Rome's Chinatown. Immigrants from more than a hundred different countries reside there. A commercial district, Esquilino contains restaurants featuring many kinds of international cuisine. There are wholesale clothes shops. Of the 1,300 or so commercial premises operating in the district 800 are Chinese-owned; around 300 are run by immigrants from other countries around the world; 200 are owned by Italians.<ref>{{cite web |last=Pretto |first=Emiliano |title=Rome Post – what's happening in Rome |website=romepost.it |date=21 June 2009 |url=http://www.romepost.it/Rioni_of_Rome_Esquilino.htm | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090621033439/http://www.romepost.it/Rioni_of_Rome_Esquilino.htm | archive-date=21 June 2009 | url-status=unfit | access-date=22 August 2019}}</ref>
