    The Lebanese diaspora is quite known for integrating well, having good food, and, of course, being successful.

    Lebanese Americans have especially done well with all the above. Lebanese have properly integrated, entered American politics at all levels, created businesses, led major corporations, and so on.

    For the median household income in the United States, Lebanese Americans got the 11th position – out of 96 different ancestries.

    The current median household income for Lebanese Americans is $ 74,757. Indian Americans, Taiwanese Americans, and Filipino Americans make the most with $101,591, $85,566 and $82,389 respectively.

    The 3 ethnicities making the least are Somali-American, Iraqi-American and Burmese American with $22,368, $32,594 and $35,016 respectively.

    Arab/Arabic ethnicity are making $39,395 – making them the 4th least paid ethnicity in America.
