Polonia USA
According to the census (2000), American states with the largest numbers of Poles and Americans of Polish ancestry are New York (958,893), Illinois (946,241), Michigan (900,335), Pennsylvania (855,526), New Jersey (591,347), California (496,588), Wisconsin (481,779), Florida (430,138), Ohio (404,557), Massachusetts (349,998), Connecticut (278,010), Texas (234,861), Minnesota (222,997), Maryland (186,312), Indiana (164,587), Arizona (140,541), Virginia (112,658), Missouri (104,460) and Colorado (97,420). The city with the highest amount of Poles is Chicago - 1.8 millions. Chicago is the second largest "Polish" city in the world. Warsaw, Polish capital is the only city with more Polish residents. New York is on the second place with about 600,000 Polish American in metropolitan area and Detroit is the third with about a half of million. Also Cleveland, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Columbus, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Portland, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Washington, Seattle, Sandusky, Pulaski etc. have significant Polish population.
There is a trend among Poles to move away from big cities to the suburbs, thus the number of Polish Americans in Chicago, Detroit and New York gradually decreases. The censuses 1990 and 2000 show growing number of Poles migrating to the regions of the USA which were underpopulated by Poles at the expense of the traditional centers of Polish immigration.
The following video was a big hit at Shanghai's EXPO 2010. The animated film ‘Polish History’ has already been viewed by more than 5 million EXPO visitors and is sure to be an online hit. The video is courtesy of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP), the main organiser of Poland’s participation in EXPO 2010. Its creator is Tomasz Baginski, the master of contemporary Polish animation and an Academy Award nominee for his ‘Cathedral’.
The total area of Poland is 312,679 square kilometres (120,726 sq mi), making it the 69th largest country in the world and the 9th largest in Europe. Poland has a population of over 38 million people, which makes it the 34th most populous country in the world and the sixth most populous member of the European Union.

Seventy percent of America's Polish population lives in the Midwest and Northeast. In recent decades there has been a population shift from the cities to the suburbs, and more Polish Americans are moving to the South and West. The most rapid growth is in Arizona, Florida, Colorado and California and there is also a strong presence of Polish-American professionals in Seattle.Polonia Music Videos
