| It should be noted that these maps are not as precise as maps normally are (or are supposed to be). These maps depend on especially census data -- with some supplementary sources -- that vary in definitions of "ethnic" in different decades. More specifically, those of second and third generations are understated. In effect, these maps best show the foreign born groups. See the tables derived from census data for more information. |
