Yugoslav Americans are Americans of full or partial Yugoslav ancestry. In the 2021 Community Surveys, there were 210,395 people who indicated YugoslavorYugoslav American as their ethnic origin;[1] a steep and steady decrease from previous censuses (233,325 in 2019;[2] 276,360 in 2016[3]) and nearly a 36% decrease from the 2000 Census when there were over 328,000.[4]

The total number of Americans whose origins lie in former Yugoslavia is unknown due to conflicting definitions and identifications; in descending order these were as per 2021 American Community Survey:

Ethnic group Number[1]
Croatia Croatian Americans 398,101
Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Yugoslav Americans 210,395
Serbia Serbian Americans 193,844
Slovenia Slovene Americans 162,172
Bosnia and Herzegovina Bosnian Americans 125,793[5]
North Macedonia Macedonian Americans 66,070[1]
Montenegro Montenegrin Americans Unknown
Kosovo Kosovar Americans[a] Unknown

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Kosovar Americans are likely to identify as simply Albanian Americans instead, as the majority of Kosovar Americans are ethnic Albanians.
