The largest wave of Czech migration to America occurred in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when Midwestern farmland was widely available at low prices. Most came from Bohemia, and were called "Bohemians" in the early part of the 20th century.

In the 2000 census, 1,699,855 people in the U.S. claimed Czech or Czechoslovakian ancestry.

ePodunk mapped the top communities by percentage of population. The map and the following list show communities in which 1,000 or more people listed an ancestry group, and in which at least 7 percent of those people said they were Czech.

The links at left lead to information on other races and ethnicities.
