Out of the nearly 700,000 Penangite Chinese, most are concentrated on Penang Island, particularly within and around the city of George Town.

Ethnic Chinese constitute the plurality of Penang Island's population; the 2010 Malaysian Census indicated that about 53% of Penang Island's inhabitants were of Chinese descent.
On the island, more Chinese reside within the Northeastern District, where George Town is situated, compared to the less-populated Southwestern District.

The Chinese also accounted for 34.2% of the population in Seberang Perai, the mainland halve of the State of Penang.
They most commonly reside within the Central and Southern districts, forming a visible majority in the towns within these districts, such as Bukit Mertajam, Batu Kawan and Nibong Tebal.
