 Going by numbers, the place where accents are used the most are
actually on your 
 side
 of the pond--since the main language of South America, Mexico, and
parts of the 
 U.S.,
 Spanish, uses accents...

SonC added:

 You are forgetting to mention Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and Zwolle,
 Louisiana.
