There seems to be a disturbing lack of data. Map feels kind of empty.

Spain...

Takhisis · Feb 1, 2015

I agree, Mr. former Sill. The Spanish are not religious enough.

gay_Aleks · Feb 1, 2015

Curiously, it seems that most South American countries aren't too trusting in religion. Then again, considering the situation, I doubt anyone would want to believe an actual deity did all this stuff.

South America has a different definition of 'religion' from the ones Western Europe and Unitedstatesia have. I wonder in what part of each country the questions were asked, and exactly how they were worded.

I hadn't noticed that.

And how people in different places interpret "science" and "religion" too. I'd wager that the blue colors in Asia might not necessarily imply the same thing in Euro-America.

Man you do love Poland. I suppose that's admirable in a way, if a bit disturbing

You'll be interested to hear I just found out there's a city in Brazil where 90% of the population has Polish ancestry. And it's not in Paraná, where most Poles are concentrated, but rather in Rio Grande do Sul. It's one of the poorest cities in that relatively rich state, having a per capita income nearly 60% below the state average. Behold Brazilian Poland in all its glory:

Domen · Feb 5, 2015

Well I just stumbled upon this list and thought this is interesting enough to post here (there are some Polish-Americans etc. on this forum).

I have never seen a complete list like this - if you have similar lists of surnames for other countries I will be interested as well.

Wikipedia only gives like 10 - 100 most popular surnames for each country. Is there a complete list of surnames for Germany somewhere?

Spoiler in your post does not open, Luiz.

BTW - here is supposedly one of the most Polish towns in the USA - Calumet in Michigan:

Dom Feliciano is the name of this town ??? It seems that they still have Polish festivals:

Yep, it's Dom Feliciano. I fixed the links, spoiler is working now (at least for me. The photos are those on the links).

Domen · Feb 5, 2015

Yes, it's working now. Thanks, a nice town.

Do you have any data on proportions of various ancestries among European-Brazilians ???

How many declare that they are Portuguese-Brazilians, Spanish-Brazilians, Italian-Brazilians, German-Brazilians, etc. ???

Here I've found something more on Polish immigration to Brazil: https://escholarship.org/uc/item/12n2t3zd#page-16

This shows population density.

Domen · Feb 5, 2015

London has such a relatively low population density?

And it is still among the most densely populated cities in the EU (if this map is correct):

We have fairly strict building regulations and lots of low rise housing. Not many apartment buildings are above ~6 stories, even in central London. (When I say "not many", I mean a fairly small % of the total number of buildings. There are obviously quite a lot of apartment buildings that are >6 stories in London, but relative to the total it's not that many.) We also have a really good public transport system that makes living outside of central London and commuting in quite viable. You can live 30 miles away and still have a ~1 hr commute.

Anyway those are just my thoughts, I'm no expert and I'm sure there are other/better reasons.

Couldn't find anything on ancestries of white people for the whole country, just per state (and just for the main states, but it's safe to assume that nearly 100% of white Brazilians outside of the Center-South are of mostly Portuguese descent).

But I did find this table with the estimated number of immigrants Brazil received from 1500 to 1968 (when mass immigration to Brazil was coming to an end). The Portuguese are the biggest group (2.6 million immigrants from Portugal settled in Brazil until 1968), followed by Italians (1.62 million) and Spaniards (0.72 m). I'm surprised Brazil only received about 240 thousand German immigrants, given how common German last names are and how prominent so many German families became. In fact we received less Germans than Japanese (345k), Russians (320k - total surprise for me) and Lebanese (300k).

About 155 thousand Poles settled in Brazil between 1892 and 1968.

Technically the biggest of all immigrant groups were Africans, who were eh... invited to work at our plantations and mines (3 million "immigrants" from 1550 to 1850). But they were from multiple nationalities so probably shouldn't be counted as a single immigrant group.

The full list:

Edit:
It should be noted that while mass immigration from Europe ended in the mid 1970's, that was just the beginning of immigration from South America and some other places. It is said that 300,000 Bolivians live in the city of São Paulo alone, and God only knows their total numbers in Brazil, so they're certainly one of the biggest immigrant groups of all history. More recently Chinese and Haitians have been migrating in fairly large numbers, as well as Africans from Portuguese speaking countries.
