The Great Boston Census Caper: How Many Pasty Folks Can One City Hold?
Ah, Boston. City of baked beans, chilly winds, and enough history to fill a museum the size of Texas. But what about the folks who call this fair city home? Today, we're diving deep (well, not that deep, it's probably cold down there) into the demographics of Boston, specifically: how many white people live there?
From Shamrocks to Rainbow Sprinkles: A Shifting Population
Boston's story is one of immigration. Back in the day, the city was practically painted green, overflowing with proud Irish Americans. Fast forward to today, and Boston's a vibrant tapestry of cultures. While white folks still hold the majority, it's a much slimmer margin than, say, the time they invented clam chowder (probably a very white moment, let's be honest).
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
Numbers Don't Lie (But They Can Be a Little Shy)
Here's the tricky part: pinning down an exact number can be harder than finding a decent parking spot downtown. The most recent estimates suggest there are around 294,000 white residents in Boston. That's a hefty chunk of the population, but remember, this is just an estimate.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Fun Fact: That's more people than can fit in Fenway Park... about eight times over. Imagine all those baseball caps, but replace them with slightly more subdued headwear.
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.

Honestly? Because demographics are interesting! It helps us understand the city's makeup, its history, and maybe even where to find the best cannoli (spoiler alert: the North End, and it's probably not in the hands of a pasty dude).
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
