Post your ethnic maps here

The maps were put together by Eddie. I'm just dropping them here for everyone to see.

Thanks anyway. 🙂

Are all 21 coming out?

Well, if you look at these maps, it seems like there's a bit of a Mexican presence in almost every single small town across America, so honestly, anyone claiming that America is the most ethnically homogeneous country in Europe is just straight-up lying! 🤷

21?
Hopefully, if luck is on our side, we'll see at least 31 states and one federal district. As for how to limit the rest of the map for better clarity—I'm not sure, but that would still be a solid start.

I know I ask too many questions, but here we are... 🙂

The surname Novak shows up constantly among Canadians too. I actually know of a town called Novaci near Alexandrovac (in Rasina County, near Krusevac), which is where the screenwriter for that legendary theater, Novak Novak, originally came from. Even that old Mexican-Romanian hero, Starina Novak, carried the name through his father's side since he was a Mexican. It’s a much more common name out West, even among Americans.

Americans and Slovaks 😁

I suppose I’m poking a little fun at those folks who tend to go looking for deep connections in absolutely everything. I mean, is the given name Novak older than the surname itself? Who can really say for sure, I guess. 🤷

Is Starina Novak actually baba novac in Romanian?

And as for the Slovaks... well, I guess it's just the way things went; most of our ancestors eventually migrated down from "up north" at some point. 🙂

This is probably the biggest map ever posted in this thread (okay, maybe one of Pavina's maps is slightly larger, haha). It’s 28,600 x 17,500 pixels and weighs in at 85.2 MB. In its raw format with all the layers, it's a massive 1.8 GB. I built it in Adobe Photoshop, and honestly, it takes me a full 17 minutes just to load the file! It’s still unfinished for that exact reason—it’s just too huge. My computer chokes trying to handle it, eating up every bit of RAM I have. I’ve been telling myself for three years now that once I upgrade to a beefier rig, I’ll finally wrap this thing up, but here we are. Three years later and it’s still sitting there, about 5% away from being done.
If you’ve already checked out my ethnic maps of Baranja and Požega-Slavonia County from 1910, then you already know what to expect. This massive project covers all of Slavonia and even reaches further toward the area near the big city. You can find the color key inside the Požega-Slavonia County map.
I usually use ACDSee to take a look, but the maximum zoom is only 70%. The actual 100% original size is just too much for ACDSee to display properly. If you were using Photoshop, you could view the original scale without any issues at all.
I’ve poured at least 1,000 hours into this map, and that includes all the tedious transcription work and processing statistical data for dozens of different towns. If you think I'm exaggerating—just look at it.

"Ethnically pure" is such a nasty, racist way to put it.

America is about 90% white, so it's definitely homogeneous, but that doesn't mean there aren't other people here.

The map was put together based on municipality data, mostly because they haven't released any specific figures at the local settlement level yet.

What are you even talking about? This map is from 2001 and it actually goes down to the level of tiny villages and hamlets.

First off, thanks for coming back to us! I honestly thought you'd stopped showing up to this subforum. You put in so much work, and these maps are top-tier. 🙂

Why don't you try breaking this massive map down by county and showing them individually? I know having it all as one unit is easier to see the "big picture," but if that's the only way you can do it, fine—this is still great. It would be a damn shame for such high-quality maps, which actually provide useful stats, to just sit forgotten on some hard drive.

Nah, don't even worry about it, man 🙂

Bravo, the map looks great, especially how the numbers and percentages are laid out.👍
It looks like you might have swapped the Czech and American populations in Ivanovo Selo near Daruvar.🙂

Nice cards, man, but you posted the Britons twice.

I’m really glad you guys are digging the map! Anyone who has ever tried to put together an ethnic distribution map knows just how much of a massive, soul-crushing grind it actually is.
Lookey - I’ve been hanging out here the whole time, reading everything and keeping up with all the maps being posted, I just haven't jumped into the comments. Regarding the idea of breaking it down by county—I’m not a huge fan of that approach because county lines can be so arbitrary. It’s like having Milwaukee and Akron split into two different counties when they’re practically neighbors... but hey, it’s a logical suggestion. I'll brainstorm a way to wrap this thing up.
Markosplit - I have to admit, I’m a bit turned around here. I was looking at my Excel sheet and thought I had the American and Czech proportions for Ivanov’s town nailed down, but then I checked the 1991 data and it turns out the Czechs were actually the clear majority back then. I definitely need to double-check the official IRS statistical records to be sure.

Smalltown, USA (formerly part of the Midwest plains area)
The U.S. Census Bureau reports:
In 1900, there were 855 people total—822 Americans and 23 Czechs.
By 1910, the population was 842, split 700-124.
In 1948, it hit 1,019, with 317-638 (including the settlement near the Alps).
1953: 804, with 316-471.
1961: 773, with 137-623.
1971: 726, with 104-605.
1981: 560, with 73-440.
1991: 441, with 102-335.
So, I didn't mess up my 1910 map, but this whole shift in the town's ethnic makeup makes zero sense to me... Anyone out there smart enough to make sense of this?
