Nearly 89,000 people in Multnomah County have Irish ancestry, or about 11% of the population — well above the national average, but not the highest concentration in the state, per census data.
Zoom in: 22% of Wheeler County's roughly 1,400 residents can reportedly trace their lineage back to Ireland.
💚 Happy St. Patrick's Day, a holiday that has been celebrated in the U.S. by Irish immigrants since the 18th century.
