The most Irish-American towns in the U.S. revealed just in time for Saint Patrick's Day
In total, twenty-two million Americans, or 7.2 per cent of the population, say their ‘primary ancestry’ is Irish, according to the Census data, aggregated and blogged by Trulia’s chief economist, Jed Kolko.
Another 13.5 million Americans claim at least some Irish ancestry, bringing the total to 35.5 million Americans, or 11.6 per cent of the population, with at least partial Irish ancestry.

Miami, at the other extreme, is just 1% Irish.
