Americans of Catalan birth or descent
Ethnic group
Catalan Americans (Catalan :Catalano-estatunidencs ,Spanish :Catalano-estadounidenses ) areAmericans ofCatalan descent. The group is formed byCatalan -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 the2000 U.S. census , with the nameCatalonian , 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 theCatalan language , also with the nameCatalonian . 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 inCatalonia live in theUnited States .
Some of Catalonians self-identify asWhite American rather thanHispanic Americans .
