Hard to say. One gets the impression that the vast majority are staying. Their kids go to school here and, my neighbours for instance, seem keen to integrate. The breadwinner travels back to China only as required for work, and they might go back occasionally to visit family. However, most of them have a pretty dim view of the government and quality of life over there.
But to answer your question, we'd need to know how many of them are simply parking money, and those guys aren't exactly walking around on the streets. There aren't a heck of a lot of vacant homes around here, and many of those are simply waiting for permits to demolish & rebuild.
