Language, Religion and Culture are important components to group and individual identity.  Throughout the early twentieth century, Pittsfield, Massachusetts was a culturally diverse city.  Data provided from 1920 and 1940 U.S. census records highlights how the further a U.S. and European-immigrant group's language, religion and culture deviated from that of the native, Massachusetts-born population, the more they clustered together within one of the city's seven wards.
