According to the United States Census Bureau's data on ancestry groups in 2019, there were approximately 33.3 million people of Scottish Gaelic descent in the United States, compared to around 16.7 million people of Italian descent.
According to the United States Census Bureau's 2019 data on ancestry groups, a surprising trend emerged: Scottish Gaelic ancestry surpassed Italian ancestry in the American population. The numbers revealed that approximately 33.3 million individuals claimed Scottish Gaelic heritage, while around 16.7 million identified as Italian. This shift can be attributed to the influx of Scottish immigrants during the 19th and early 20th centuries, who settled primarily in the Northeast and Midwest regions. As a result, many Americans today proudly claim Scottish Gaelic roots, contributing to the growing presence of this ancestral group in the United States.
