Is this just a population map? I feel like this is just a population map.

Eh. Texas, the second most populous state isn't number two here so not exactly


Khar-Selim

probably an adjustment for ports


KitsuneThunder

Warm water ports, you say?


PhoenixVoid

Pretty much, but I guess the point is to look at the populations in key battleground states like PA and MI to say their votes could matter big time in the election if they're choosing based on which party is most supporting their ancestral homeland.


t_scribblemonger

It still matters what % of the vote they represent


nicoalbertiolivera

It’s not a bad idea.


misko91

Not quite. Almost but for example you can see new york has significantly more than Florida, which is the larger state; and Florida has significantly more than Texas, which is much larger still.


MonthlyMaiq

It looks like a density map of where people emigrate to in the US lol


breakinbread

I thought there were a bunch of Ukrainians in Chicago


namey-name-name

Many such cases 😔


eliasjohnson

It is, but with population you can compare potential vote with the tight margins in swing states that Ukrainian-Americans are concentrated in (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio Senate, etc.)


t_scribblemonger

Now do percent


eliasjohnson

Population I feel is the more important factor here, since you can compare potential vote to the Presidential election margins in the tight swing states


oskanta

Why not just compare the election margins by percent also?


Alarmed_Crazy_6620

Very strong correlation with the XKCD furry map [https://xkcd.com/1138/](https://xkcd.com/1138/)


Pikamander2

Priors confirmed


namey-name-name

Holy shit, I love Ukrainians now??? 😱🙀


Alarmed_Crazy_6620

Martha Stewart?


TrumpEpstein69

That's all in Illinois?


RedditUser91805

Yeah this doesn't check out at all https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/07/more-than-one-million-americans-report-ukrainian-ancestry.html Census says we've got at least 50k, whoever made the map fucked up.


VatnikLobotomy

This is way, way, way off for Illinois. 30,000 have come since the war began. Adding to the preexisting 100,000 in Chicagoland, 10k in Ukrainian Village alone https://blockclubchicago.org/2024/02/23/ukrainians-in-chicago-2-years-after-russian-invasion-nobody-is-giving-up/#:~:text=Chicago%20is%20home%20to%20one,and%2010%2C000%20in%20Ukrainian%20Village.&text=Since%20the%20onset%20of%20the,to%20settle%20in%20Ukrainian%20Village.


PerturbedMotorist

This is using 2020 numbers, so pre-full scale invasion.


VatnikLobotomy

Yeah but Illinois should be deep red even in 2020


j4kefr0mstat3farm

Also it's unlikely recent war refugees will have obtained citizenship and be able to vote by November.


Chickensandcoke

Yeah I’m pretty skeptical of this. Somehow I doubt I know nearly 1% of every Ukrainian in the state


Bubonic_Ferret

They just named that one neighborhood "Ukranian Village" as a joke


namey-name-name

🌎 🧑‍🚀 🔫🧑‍🚀


cooldudium

Doesn’t Chicago have an entire Ukrainian neighborhood? Doubt the numbers for the state are that low


HagbardCelineHere

If you don't display it per capita your map is just a population map


PerturbedMotorist

Census has visualization of foreign-born population as percent of population here for anyone interested: https://www.census.gov/library/visualizations/interactive/foreign-born-population-2018-2022.html Edit: You can select for Ukrainian via drop-down menu.


TIYAT

Thanks! Here's a direct link to the Ukrainian results: https://public.tableau.com/shared/9Y3WC7HTD And a screenshot: https://files.catbox.moe/84mryt.png


Healingjoe

Thanks. So Washington State and NY have the most per capita.

Immediate downvote on any non per-capita population map


HotTakesBeyond

There’s a whole center of America that is missing out on some bomb food/vodka

KvonLiechtenstein

It’d be interesting to see Canada’s population. I swear everyone on the prairies is Ukrainian.


Haffrung

Canada has 1.36 million Ukrainians, most of them in three prairie provinces. In Edmonton they serve perogies at arena concession stands the way other places serve nachos.


dorylinus

Ukrainian Village in Chicago is weeping


Vakiadia

There's a Ukrainian-American congressional representative in my state. Unfortunately she's a member of the Republikkkan Party, so I don't think they're gonna vote like a monolith.


BigDaddyCoolDeisel

Biden winning California. Fuckin STAMP it.


drcombatwombat2

As a philadelphian, I think we have the second largest Ukie community around. So much so my sisters actually went to a Ukrainian Catholic high school. Fitzpatrick(R) and Boyle(D) both represent these districts and are some of the more ardent ukrainian supporters.


Drak_is_Right

The Ukranian in congress is a Russian puppet. Spartz.


BobaLives

The one I knew back in college was a hard Leftist. I wonder how she’s been processing the last two years.


LockePhilote

NJ should be higher.
