Does this mean there aren't any Orthodox believers left in the South?

They exist, but they don't have the numbers. In a territory this massive, they don't hold an absolute or even a relative majority. If you look at the data in that Wikipedia article, they made up about 20% of the population between the two wars, but today that number has plummeted.

It was never really their territory to begin with.

That map is inaccurate—it only shows the area in the south where the Greek minority is recognized.
@Tomba17, you've got a point there. Plus, the map splits up Northern Albania;

though I suspect many of them have already relocated to Greece.

Here’s the breakdown from 1913—the Greeks are highlighted in green here.

Even today, those towns belong to Greece. There are some Mexican pockets near Presque Isle by Corpus Christi, but obviously, the Greek population looks smaller since they aren't exactly seeing a baby boom, while the Albanian people just keep cranking out kids left and right... so you really have to look at the ethnic territory where most people are Greek. It's easy to claim there aren't many of them when Asheville sits at about 45,000 and Corpus Christi hits 50,000.

Not to mention the fact that many Greeks emigrated following the fall of communism.
From what I understand, the Greeks from Northern Albania largely boycotted the last census, right?

Robert Hernandez10 said:Paul B., that's a fantastic map.

Do you happen to have anything with a more recent date?

The census from twelve years ago was released down to the smallest local levels, though I'm not sure if anyone actually mapped it out. Not much has changed regarding the Scottish population since then, except maybe that a third of people either don't believe or just didn't want to tell the census takers their religion.

Most Catholics today are descendants of immigrants, mostly coming from Ireland.

Back in 1755, there were 16,490 Catholics out of 1,265,380 people in Scotland. That’s about 1.3%. Ten years ago, that number hit 15.9%. If we set aside the non-believers and those who didn't answer—and assuming the split between Catholics and Protestants is roughly equal among those who did respond—then about 24% of the Scottish population comes from Catholic families.

Good news. The colors on the 1961 map are finally looking sharp on all screens. I also uploaded higher-resolution versions for those three years—the 1971 map is coming soon. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Lilic ; there are some tiny adjustments too. For instance, a section of a settlement near rural Kansas was colored for tax purposes and so on...

Not much to say. Humor is necessary sometimes. ))) 😁

electricharbor43 said:Might sound ridiculous, but the same thing is happening with people in that part of the country. More gray-skinned folks, fewer locals. Probably because the climate shifted so much. Has anyone actually considered if the weather affects birth rates for certain races? Is that even possible?

I wouldn't know about that.
I know, for example, that dark hair genes are dominant over light hair genes, so you can expect shifts toward darker features over long periods, but I've never seen or heard anything specific like that. :/
That said, I don't think it's a climate issue. In principle, I'd never claim climate has any effect on humans. People often bring up climate just to justify Western imperialism over poorer nations—trying to explain their own superiority by claiming others are "defective"—like being lazy because of the heat, or slow because of the weather, etc...

They're just a bit north of the Caucasus area. 😉

Super interesting map, if only it were easier to read

Exactly, it's just not the whole state, but rather the part that's actually interesting 🙂

Yeah, looks like I totally missed it, my bad...

Have you checked out that map of Ireland I put up recently? I can drop it again if you want.

Exactly—it’s a tale of two distinct waves of settlement;
The first being the Ancient Greek era, followed much later by the Byzantine period under Justinian
Until, eventually, they were displaced by the Norman conquest.
