Are there still neighborhoods in the city of Omaha where the population is predominately of German descent? Where are they?

The entire Midwest is home to the largest German ancestry population in America. I think most of them are mixed with other European ethnicities and few 100% Germans. Few "German-Americans" speak German, so it's hard to spot an actual majority German neighborhood.

This article doesn't seem to speak specifically of ethnic neighborhoods, but there might be some interesting stuff in there for you.

Historically, there used to be a Bavarian (German Catholic) neighborhood surrounding St. Rose Catholic Church on South 13th St., but you're about 70 years too late. Nebraska has a population with about 1/3 of the people claiming a German background, but they have assimilated into the mainstream long ago.

Thanks, everybody! So, if I were to take the average predominately white neighborhood in Omaha, it would be sort of a homogenized mix of German/Irish/Lithuanian/Bohemian/Greek etc.? There wouldn't be one neighborhood that today is more German than the others, even if all of said German-Americans are completely assimilated descendants of people who came to Omaha in the 1870's?

I think you're asking leading questions, and maybe should just ask what you're really wanting to ask.

If I'm wrong about that, I apologize.

That said... I have never heard of any currently predominantly German neighborhoods in Omaha.

You could contact the German-American Socirty in Omaha they are located on 120th and just North of I Street, they may have better info. They also put on a very fun Octoberfest!. I would guess most of the German population in Omaha has assimilated and are "German" in ancestory only, therefore they would tend not to try to find a neighborhood of Germans since they only see themselves as Americans now. Short answer: almost every neighborhood has close to the same amount of people with German descent living there.
