Not that one, the one that shows the city. If I remember right the east end has most of the Germans and my end has the "americans"

Apparently there is a time limit on the maps you are referring to, so I reposted it.

However, remember that the South End is less Germanic compared to the rest of Louisville - it is still much more Germanic than say Glasgow, KY

Percent German Ancestry



On this map I have the percents set for all of Kentucky, with it zoomed in over the Louisville area.

Interesting... that map for German Ancestry by county bares a very strong resemblance to U of L's enrollment by county. Every county that U of L has more than 100 students is also 10+% German

It seems there are several areas about the same color "green" What percentage of German renders an area "midwest"? Have you ever checked other cities like Nashville just to see how they compare?

Then come to Atlanta, where Coke is king. You can hardly buy a Pepsi in this town!

Sounds GREAT!!! The only Pepsi product I like is Mountain Dew.

I also like the fact that folks in Georgia call carbonated beverages "coke." At least folks in the western 2/5 of Kentucky (from Louisville/I-65 on west) call it "coke." The eastern 3/5, where I live, call it "pop," which after 17 years still kind of annoys me.

Cincinnati percent German



Nashville by percent German



Milwaukee by German Ancestry






Louisville much more closely resembles Milwaukee & Cincinnati the Nashville in German ancestry
