Types of Slavic ancestry in the U.S. & Canada

[Peterski]

This chart shows a breakdown by state / province of various types of Slavic ancestry.

I divided into 5 groups:

- EastSlavicUB (Ukrainians, Belarusians & related)
- EastSlavicRU (Russians & related)
- SouthSlavic (all of South Slavs / Balkan Slavs)
- WestSouth (Czechia & Slovakia)
- WestNorth (Polish & related)

As you can see there is a big difference in Ukrainian ancestry between US vs. Canada:



People who answered "Slavic" were included in South Slavic.

[Alenka]

Surprised by the percentage of South Slavs in Mississippi.

Surprised by the percentage of South Slavs in Mississippi.

Most of them are Croatians followed by "Yugoslavs".

Shit thread. Croats are most numerous south Slavs in US, if you made own cathegory for your own folks you should have made for all.
Absolute nonsense as some of listed south slavic groups almost don't exist in US.

Here you have a breakdown for South Slavs, but U.S. censuses lump up most of them together as "Yugoslavian":

[sorted from lowest to highest % of Croatians]

In Canada as a whole Croats are less than 29% of all South Slavs / in Mississippi Croats are 83% of South Slavs:



Here exact breakdown for South Slavs in Canada (the whole country):

Croatian - 28.761% - 133970
Serbian - 20.725% - 96535
Yugoslav - 17.481% - 81425
Macedonian - 9.254% - 43105
Slovenian - 8.686% - 40460
Bulgarian - 7.417% - 34550
Bosnian - 5.738% - 26725
Slavic - 1.044% - 4865
Montenegrin - 0.894% - 4165

In the U.S. Montenegrins and Bosnians are counted among Yugoslavs.

It would be good to know the total Slavic population percentage in each state vs the general population. I imagine it is high in upper Midwest states like Michigan and low in the southern states.

I have all the types of Slavic ancestry a Hungarian can possibly have. Check my signature.

By the way, the U.S. Census Bureau also considers these responses to ancestry question as Eastern Europeans:

(yes, people who report being "Northern European" are considered Eastern Europeans by U.S. Census Bureau*)

Central European
Estonian

Hungarian
Latvian
Lithuanian
Northern European
Rom
Romanian
Soviet
Moldovan
Other Eastern European

If you add these, then the total percentages for East Europeans (excluding Albanians if you see them as such):

*Probably because most of peoplee who answer "Northern European" are Latvians etc. rather than Swedes etc.

Wisconsin and Illinois have a lot of Poles that live in Chicago and Milwaukee. Many came from the old Prussian empire in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many Jews as well.

Minnesota's Slavs are the Iron Range miners that emigrated from the old Austro-Hungarian empire and Kashubians that live in the rural areas. Lots of Slavs in Canada's western provinces and farms.
