Measurement

Share of total population reporting this ancestry group (ACS 2024 5-year).

Political model

Multi-scale ecological average (county + state + region), weighted by total votes × group share.

Open methodology
Ecological pattern — how to read this

Reflects patterns in counties where this ancestry group concentrates — not a claim about individual voters.

Values are derived by joining ACS 2024 5-year estimates (B04006 + B03001 + B02015/16/20) with certified election results at the county level. That means we know what counties with more or fewer of this group did — not how any individual voted.

This is known as ecological inference. It is a valid way to surface geographic correlation but must not be read as a personal-vote claim about anyone in the group.

Every dossier declares what is published, where the data comes from, and where modeled geography stops short of observed individual behavior.

  • Politics source window: presidential model output spanning 2000 through 2024 from the latest completed ancestry_vote_estimates run.
  • Release policy: public-release dossiers are indexed; experimental dossiers remain labeled and excluded from search indexing.

Method and export

Methodology and exports

Public notes on source tables, measurement scope, modeling boundaries, and exportability.
  • Ancestry footprint metrics use ACS 2024 source columns mapped from the canonical ancestry taxonomy.
  • Public geography tables rank states and counties by share of total population reporting the ancestry.
  • State and national ancestry shares are weighted from county populations whenever a direct aggregate row is unavailable.
  • Political timelines use the latest completed ancestry model run and surface model version plus confidence labels directly.
  • Indexed public-release dossiers remain search-visible; experimental dossiers stay public in the atlas but noindex until promoted.
  • These pages describe modeled voting patterns, not direct measures of individual behavior.
