A score above 1 indicates a state shows disproportionately high interest relative to its Irish population.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, states were ranked within each category and converted rankings into percentiles to create an overall Celebration Intensity score for each state, enabling us to track how celebration intensity evolves over time. The year-on-year comparison was from 2023 to 2025.<\/span>\r\n<h2><b>Sources<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Trends (state-level search interest data)<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">U.S. Census Bureau \u2013 American Community Survey (ACS) 2023\u20132024 Irish Ancestry Population Estimates<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><b>Disclaimer<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As 2025 U.S. ancestry population data had not yet been released by the U.S. Census Bureau at the time of analysis, the most recent available dataset (2024) was used as a proxy for 2025 figures.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cases where state-level Irish ancestry data was unavailable or did not meet reporting thresholds (including, but not limited to, Alaska, Arkansas, and Hawaii), those states were excluded from the final analysis to maintain data consistency and reliability.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This index is based on web search behavior as a proxy for celebration intent. It assumes that search patterns for St. Patrick\u2019s Day-related terms remain directionally consistent over time, allowing year-on-year comparisons of relative interest. While search data does not measure real-world participation directly, it provides a standardized and comparable indicator of consumer intent and cultural engagement across states.
