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.

I have to admit I find that annoying too lol

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

another point, didn't you say less than 50% of east enders are even from Kentucky? Is that a factor in the German-ness as well? Oh and isn't Milwaukee more scandanavian anyway?

[missymomof3]

According to the internet, Cinci has 45% Germans, Milwaukee has 38% and we have 14.6%. I don't see how that is similar. More than Nashville's 9.8 but much less than the other two. We are even less than Jeffersonville at 21.6%.

By the way, what the heck does "other" mean on these things? Whatever it is we are 42.9% of it.

Wow St Matthews is 23.9%,anchorage 21.1, J-town 20.8,Lyndon is 22.1 and Prospect is 25.8! No wonder the average is so high! Looks like most Germans have some money!

[censusdata]

The far NorthEast suburbs are only 57% Kentucky born, J-town, Fern Creek & The Highlands are 69% Kentucky born,

KY is clearly south, except for parts of jefferson and oldham and cincy suburbs in NKY.
