DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER?

 

Question: How many Polish Americans live in the US today?
Answer: There are almost 9 million of us!

We do not know exactly how many Poles arrived in Jamestown on October 1, 1608. But they would no doubt be very surprised if they knewhow many live in the United States 400 years later. The 2000 Census lists 8,977,444 persons of Polish ancestry living in the United States.

The states with the largest Polish-American populations include:

1. New York - 986,141
2. Illinois - 932,996
3. Michigan - 854,844
4. Pennsylvania - 821,146
5. New Jersey - 576,473
