What, no Swedish-dominated counties but a bunch of Finnish and Norwegian ones!?

Swedish immigration to the US wasn't statistically significant.  Over the last 100 years secondary migration effects dispersed the 'clumping,' diffusing the population to insignificance.  

Demographically speaking.

1.2 millions are insignificant perhaps, but larger then the number of Norwegians (800,000) or Finnish (389,000(unless I misread Finnish wikipedia)). Clumpers I guess, the lot of them.

Swedish American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically Swedish Americans are concentrated in the Midwest, roughly in the area west and northwest of Chicago.

BruceMcF's was showing relative majorities. So it's just that in the areas where the most Swedish immigrants settled, there were even more German immigrants.

Nope. Its heavily influence by the countries that had large emigration outflows in the years immediately after the territory was opened for settlement.

And its pluralities ~ with 4.5m Norwegian Americans and 1.2m Swedish Americans, most counties with substantial Swedish-American populations would have even more Norwegian Americans.

Wasn't my intention to hijack the thread with the nordic joke, but the relevant numbers are apparently 4.3 million Swedish-Americans (from 1.2 million immigrants) and 4.6 million Norwegian-Americans (from 0.8 million immigrants).

Then the Norwegians cluster more.

I took those numbers from the Wikipedia machine, so its not surprising if the numbers were not on a consistent basis.
