Are there any regions in Louisiana where English is the most common ancestry?

I assume that the most common ancestral group in each parish is either French, black, or Scot-Irish/Irish (where French isn’t the most common)
Wikipedia says that 6.6% of Louisiania residents claim their dominant ancestry as English...are these people concentrated in certain areas of the state?

Historically? Maybe the New Orleans Garden District. Maybe not still, though.

Think upper Florida parishes.
Norwood, Wilson, Greensburg, Amite, Kentwood, Franklinton
This is what my Southern History professor who wrote a book on the region said.
His name is Samuel Hyde, and he’s a badass.

Self reported ancestries are always the best.
