According to the data, Louisiana has by far the largest Cajun population with 53,398 people identified as such, accounting for 1.17% of its total population. Texas and Arkansas also have noticeable Cajun populations, with 18,660 (0.06%) and 1,777 (0.058%) individuals respectively identifying as Cajun. In contrast, some states have very small Cajun populations, with South Dakota having the smallest population of only 11 people, accounting for just 0.001% of its total population.
Although there are Cajun populations across the United States, their percentages tend to be small in most states. The majority of states have less than 0.1% of their population identified as Cajun, with many having less than 0.01%. This suggests that although Cajun culture is present throughout the country, it is concentrated primarily in Louisiana and neighboring states.
