Appleton and Oshkosh are within twenty miles. LaCrosse and Eau Claire are pretty close to each other too. Wausau is pretty much the middle of the state a few hours away each of these other cities. But I'm pretty surprised we have the second most.

Most of the Hmong in Minnesota live in the Twin Cities with the majority in the metropolitan area residing in the city of St. Paul. Smaller but substantial numbers of Hmong also live in the city of Minneapolis and its nearby suburbs. Year 2000 Population estimates for other states and cities are listed below.
