Tibetans live in many parts of China outside of Tibet, including southern Gansu and Qinghai (historically known as Amdo, see
https://collab.its.virginia.edu/wiki/aboutthl/An%20Overview%...). Northern and western Sichuan province also had large populations of Tibetan people living in remote areas (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngawa_Tibetan_and_Qiang_Autono...), sometimes near temples such as Langmusi on the Sichuan/Gansu border.
One trend that was taking place in western China when I last visited was out-migration of Han settlers from Sichuan and other more populous provinces to Xinjiang and other areas which were then dominated by ethnic minorities. This is taking place in Tibet as well:
Han Chinese workers, investors, merchants, teachers and soldiers are pouring into remote Tibet. After the violence that ravaged this region in 2008, China’s aim is to make Tibet wealthier and more Chinese.
Chinese leaders see development, along with an enhanced security presence, as the key to pacifying the Buddhist region. The central government invested $3 billion in the Tibet Autonomous Region last year, a 31 percent increase over 2008. Tibet’s gross domestic product is growing at a 12 percent annual rate, faster than the robust Chinese national average.
