Top Twenty U.S. Areas to Find Arab or German Americans

Two just-released studies rank U.S. ZIP codes based on their percentage of Arab-Americans and German Americans.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 10, 2004 -- The top twenty ZIP codes in the United States in which to find Arab-Americans and the top twenty ZIP codes in the U.S. in which to find German-Americans are the subject of a new study released today by Teasley, a Manhattan-based company that specializes in helping marketers and advertising agencies use data and analysis to improve their marketing.

The release of the data comes after the New York Times ran an article on July 29th, 2004 discussing the fact that the U.S. Census Bureau provided the Department of Homeland Security with this type of information.

Brian Teasley, head of Teasley, said today, Most marketers do not understand the best way to use data to identify and target their markets. That is what we help them do. The U.S. census helps identify which areas are most appropriate for products that are geared towards ethnic tastes. In the case mentioned by the New York Times, the Department of Homeland Securitys Customs and Border Protection Division is using the data to target areas in which to distribute information regarding U.S. traveling laws and restrictions "

It is important for American citizens to understand that this is publicly available data, provided by the U.S. Census Bureau", says Teasley. Companies like Teasley and GeoLytics, who provided the data for these rankings, help people obtain and use the data.

The top zip codes (where pop. is over 1,000) with the highest percentage of Arab background include parts of Dearborn, Michigan, Deal and Patterson, New Jersey, and Brooklyn, New York. The top ZIP codes (where population is over 1,000) with the highest percentage of German Americans include areas of Ohio and Wisconsin.
