The United States is a nation shaped by waves of European migration and that legacy is still visible today.

Among those who identify as White (alone or in combination), the largest ancestry groups are English (46.6 million), German (45 million) and Irish (38.6 million). Several others also stand out, including Italian (16.8 million), Polish (8.6 million), Scottish (8.4 million) and French (8 million). Smaller but still significant communities, such as Swedish and Norwegian (3.8 million each) and Dutch (3.6 million), also leave clear regional footprints.

Across the country, English, German and Irish ancestries dominate, with tens of millions of Americans identifying with these roots. German heritage is especially strong in the Midwest, while English ancestry is widespread across much of the South and West. Irish influence is more visible in parts of the Northeast and urban areas.

Other communities also leave clear regional footprints: from Italian in the Northeast, to French in Louisiana and Scandinavian ancestries in the Upper Midwest. Together, these patterns reflect centuries of migration, settlement and cultural identity that continue to shape the American landscape.
