Norwegian-surnamed Americans are more numerous than 1% of the population. In fact, it is very close to 2% (1.93%)...It would appear that Swedes are higher still, some 2.25 to 2.5%.

I saw a little item last month that said that Norway has the same population as Jews in Israel, some 5.3 million, and the USA has the same number of Norwegian surnamed persons as is does Jews, some 5.6 million...

Denmark would add another 0.3% and Iceland some 0.1%.

Make that 0.5% for Denmark.

Thank you for those figures! My old figures had Norse and Danes at ~1% each and Swedes ~2%. Same 4% total Scandinavian population. What is the source of your numbers?
