Hmm. Philadelphia doesn't look that much lwoer. Most of the Northeast looks about the same, Albany appears and Scranton is similar to New England / New York City; Buffalo and Rochester much lower. Interesting how high San Francisco was.
I think Boston's reputation as Irish increased as later, post-famine immigration from Ireland focused more on Boston.

Troy is a sleeper in this regard and just across the Hudson River from Albany. I wonder what the percentage for Syracuse would be? On the outer West Side of the city, Tipperary Hill still has a pretty strong Irish presence.

Looks like a few Southern metros received Irish immigrants too. Savannah, GA even. I always assumed the Irish there must be Scots-Irish, unless they had a very Irish name.

There's a reason why Savannah has one of the biggest St. Patrick's Day parades in the country.

Yeah, I always thought that was a scam. Fake Irish throwing a parade for tourism dollars. I guess there must be a few legit Irish descended in the area.
The Kerry Patch neighborhood was one of the oldest Irish settlements in St.Louis. I was born there in 1901 and became a torpedo for the Irish mob during the 1920s. I was known as "The Tiptoe Kid" because no one ever heard me coming. When I finished a 25 year stretch in Joliet I wrote a book about my life and they made a movie about my career in 1953.
Pay no attention to that drunk that just typed that, he is a liar.
