Americans in the United Kingdom or American Britons includes emigrants from the United States who gains British citizenship, people from the United States who are or have become residents or citizens of the United Kingdom. ==Population== The 2001 UK Census recorded 158,434 people born in the United States. According to the 2011 UK Census, there were 173,470 US-born residents in England, 3,715 in Wales, 15,919 in Scotland,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Country of birth (detailed) )〕 and 4,251 in Northern Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Country of Birth - Full Detail: QS206NI )〕 The Office for National Statistics estimates that 197,000 US-born immigrants were resident in the UK in 2013.〔 Figure given is the central estimate. See the source for 95 per cent confidence intervals.〕 The largest single local cluster of Americans in Britain recorded by the 2001 Census was in Mildenhall in north-west Suffolk – the site of RAF Mildenhall and nearby RAF Lakenheath. This is because of the legacy of the Cold War and NATO cooperation. 17.28 percent of Mildenhall's population were born in the US. In London, the majority of Americans are businesspeople and their families which ties in with the strong economic relations between London and New York City or Washington DC. Chelsea (where 6.53 percent of residents were born in the US in 2001) and Kensington (5.81 percent), have large American populations. Prior to the end of the Cold War, the highest proportion of Americans resident in the United Kingdom per head of population was centred on the Scottish seaside town of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, the former site of the Holy Loch US Navy base. At its height in the early 1990s around a quarter of Dunoon's population was American. Some Americans in the UK are older, ex-servicemen who returned to Britain after being based in the UK during World War II.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Americans in the United Kingdom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
