Where are the largest Deaf populations? In the USA or anywhere on the globe.
 
In the US at least.. most likely Rochester NY (NTID is there) or in Washington DC/Maryland as that's close to Gallaudet. A lot of other cities have pretty big deaf communities as well like Seattle, Atlanta and I'm hearing Houston or Austin as well lately.

As for in the world...no idea lol.

I am surprised about Chicago. I live in the area and always have a hard time finding deaf socials or events. Especially for young adults.
