Catalan American

Catalan American

Catalan Americans are residents of the United States who acknowledge Catalan ancestry and self-identify with it. The group is formed by Catalonia born (Spain or France) naturalized citizens or residents, their descendants and, to a lesser extent, citizens or residents of Catalan descent who came from Latin America and still acknowledge Catalan ancestry.

The Catalan or Catalonian ancestry is identified with the code 204 in the 2000 US 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. Because the long-form is a 1-in-6 sample of the population, that figure puts the estimate of Catalan speakers in the US for the year 2000 at around 10,000 people.

In the US census, People of Catalonian ancestry are listed in a group called «Hispanic (Including Spain)».
