Romanians living in the United States in 2002

Population breakdown by state
The study takes into consideration
official data published such as 1990 US Census, The
Romanian Embassy study of 1999, immigration records,
as well as information gathered directly from various
Romanian-American associations, organizations and
membership data of religious denominations.
Population is continuingly
increasing as many people are settling here because
of the high salaries, relatively low costs of living
compared to other metrolitan areas, and a strong
and organized Romanian-American community.
