Americans of Catalan birth or descent
Ethnic group
Catalan Americans (Catalan : Català americà ) are Americans of Catalan descent. The group is formed by Catalan -born naturalized citizens or residents, their descendants and, to a lesser extent, citizens or residents of Catalan descent who still acknowledge Catalan ancestry.
The Catalan or Catalonian ancestry is identified with the code 204 in the 2000 U.S. Census , with the name Catalonian , A total of 1,738 individuals who received the long-form Census questionnaire (which is given to 1 in 6 households) self-identified as Catalan Americans. In the same survey 1,660 people aged 5 or older indicated being able to speak the Catalan language , also with the name Catalonian . Because the long-form samples a sixth of the population, that figure puts the estimate of Catalan speakers in the US in 2000 at around 10,000 people. However, 22,047 people born in Catalonia live in the United States of America .
Some of Catalonians self-identify as White American rather than Hispanic Americans .
