In the 2000 US Census, the number of Americans reported whose origins are from the Dutch West Indies was of 35,359. In this Census (and to difference of the 2010 US Census whose Dutch West Indian ethnics were not mentioned of individual way) a total of 1,970 people affirmed just be ofAruban descent, while only 352 people claimed descent from people ofSt. Maarten.[5]
