Finnish Population by State 2023

The highest concentration of Finnish people in the United States is found in Minnesota, where 1.7% of the population has Finnish ancestry. Michigan comes second with 0.9%, followed by North Dakota with 0.7%, Wisconsin with 0.6%, Montana with 0.6%, and Washington with 0.6%. In these states, Finnish people make up a significant percentage of the population, which can be attributed to historical migration patterns.

In contrast, there are several states where Finnish people make up less than 0.1% of the population, such as Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Delaware, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, West Virginia, Alabama, and Texas. These states have relatively small populations of Finnish people, likely due to a lack of historical ties or economic opportunities. Overall, Finnish Americans are widely dispersed throughout the United States, with varying concentrations in different states.
