How Irish We Are, or Aren't, As the Case May Be!

Again with the ethnicity. According to the 2006 census, the percentage of people, by Census Division and St. John's CMA, who considered themselves to be, in whole or in part, Irish, was as follows:

St. John's      31.7%
CD 1            25.1%
CD 2            18.4%
CD 4            16.7%
CD 6            16.4%
CD 5            16.2%
CD 10           14.4%
CD 7            10.7%
CD 9            10.1%
CD 8             9.4%
CD 3             5.9%
CD 11            2.1%

"Irish" ranks as the third-highest sole- or one-of-multiple-origins in the province overall, and in the St. John's metro area and CDs 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. It ranks third behind "Canadian" or "English" in every division; fourth behind "North American Indian" in division 3 and behind Métis in Labrador outside Nunatsiavut (with Inuit nipping at its heels); fifth, with the addition of French, in division 4; and eighth behind Inuit, English, Canadian, Norwegian, Scottish, French and Métis in Nunatsiavut.
