This is an estimate of Croatian American population based on "Big Data." The total number of Croatian Americans was substantiated by comparing relatively large databases (big data). Standard Information Retrieval procedure was used, based on precision and recall when comparing the databases. Telephone directories in Croatia and in the US were used as large datasets to ensure the quality of the research. A research sample was a selected group of 183 typical Croatian family names that represents about 9% of the total population in Croatia. A large number of people was found in the US telephone directories (white pages) with the selected family names. The database of the Croatian Fraternal Union (CFU) reveals how many family names were changed due to marriages and other reasons (used as true positive data for recall index). A special model was created, that determines the loss of family names when having a

Chicago was once known as the "Second Croatian Capital." Lured by economic, political, and social freedoms, Croatians, like other immigrants, came to Chicago in search of the American dream. The first documented groups settled mainly in Pilsen, Bridgeport, and the South Side in the late 1800s. By the turn of the century, these immigrants toiled in Chicago's steel mills, meatpacking plants, and construction sites. They soon formed social groups, churches, schools, Croatian-language newspapers, and other infrastructure needed to support the expanding community. Today there are more than 150,000 descendants of Croatian heritage in the Chicagoland area, and many of the foundations built by the forefathers continue to service the community. Ivan Metrovic ́'s "Indian" sculptures still adorn Congress Parkway and Michael Bilandic ́ remains in the history books as the only Croatian mayor of Chicago. Croatians of Chicagoland examines how this community and its leaders, clergy, laborers, politicians, athletes, benevolent societies, and social organizations helped build and shape Chicago's history.
