Why did immigrants settle in cities in their own ethnic communities?

Immigrants settled in cities because that's where they landed, and many did not have the resources to travel to other areas where conditions were better.
Moreover, from about 1870 onwards the US became a predominantly urban society. If one compares the number of towns and cities with 100,000 or more inhabitants in 1870 and in 1920, the development is very striking, especially in the South and the West.
Most immigrants settled in cities because that was where most of the jobs were. Often, immigrants lived in very poor areas, which were overcrowded and unhealthy. Immigrants settled in cities because there was work available for them within the cities. Housing was also available.
