Very addictive website...you can click on different places (this also applies to other countries, not just the U.S.), but can see ethnic maps.

Explore and share what you find.

I'll start... 18% of Beverly Hills, CA are IRANIANS! I certainly didn't know that!

Also, Scandinavians CERTAINLY dominate up in Minnesota/Wisconsin/North Dakota! Some of those towns are well over 50% of just one Scandivanian ethnicty, let alone all of them combined.

I noticed that as well. Didn't realize there were that many towns with that high of percentage of Native-Americans in Oklahoma. I mean, I knew the history of Oklahoma, but didn't realize there presense is still that strong there.

Being from Oklahoma I can attest to the high percentage of Native Americans. What most people don't know though is the high number of people of German ancestrage.

Very interesting indeed.

Had no idea there were so many Koreans in New Jersey.
