According to the 2004 U.S. census, there are 149,936 Americans of full or partial Serbian descent, in addition to 388,562 persons listing their ancestry as Yugoslavian. Chicago, Illinois, is of particular note for its large Serbian community. Other substantial Serbian-American communities are New York City, Buffalo, New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles as well Southern California (i.e. Orange County, San Diego and the Coachella Valley) by recent Serbian and Bosnian immigration, and Phoenix, Arizona since the 1980s. Another community in the Northwest is descended from miners who migrated to Butte, Montana at the turn of the 20th century. The predominant religion is Serbian Orthodox, although those from the Great Wave who lived in areas where Orthodox services were unavailable (such as Montana) often went to more available Catholic services.
