Springfield , Ohio , is home to thousands of Haitians .

Between 12,000 and 15,000 immigrants are living in Clark County , which includes Springfield .

Immigrants chose to live in Springfield due to its low cost of living and available work, officials say.

The city's mayor says the city’s population has grown about 25% over the past three years .

There’s a long history of Haitian immigration to the US in response to political instability, economic crisis and natural disasters, Gelatt says.

In the 1990s , for example, tensions flared as immigrant populations seeking work moved into small towns and cities in the Southeast .

Some recent Haitian arrivals had been living in South America but left the region when job opportunities dried up.
