The demographics of Asian Americans describe a heterogeneous group of people in the United States who trace their ancestry to one or more Asian countries. Because Asian Americans total less than six percent of the entire US population, diversity within the group is often overlooked in media treatment.^[1]^[2]

Background

The first recorded Asian Americans in the continental United States were a group of Filipino men who established the small settlement of Saint Malo, Louisiana, after fleeing mistreatment aboard Spanish ships.^[3] Since there were no women with them, the Manilamen, as they were known, married Cajun and Native American women.^[4] In 1778, Chinese and European explorers first arrived in Hawaii.^[5]^[6] Numerous Chinese and Japanese began immigrating to the US in the mid-19th century;^[7] numerous Chinese immigrants worked as laborers on the First Transcontinental Railroad, many who immigrated due to overpopulation and poverty experienced in Canton Province.^[8] In the mid-20th century, refugees from Southeast Asia fled wars in the homelands to come to the United States.^[9] Most Asian Americans who immigrated to the United States arrived after 1965, due to immigration reform that allowed for immigration from a wider range of countries.^[10]

During the 2010 United States Census, there were a total of 17,320,856 Asian Americans, including Multiracial Americans identifying as part Asian. This made Asian Americans 5.6 percent of the total American population.^[13] The largest ethnic groups represented in the census were Chinese (3.79 million), Filipino (3.41 million), Indian (3.18 million), Vietnamese (1.73 million), Korean (1.7 million), and Japanese (1.3 million).^[14] Other sizable ethnic groups include Pakistani (409,000), Cambodian (276,000), Hmong (260,000), Thai (237,000), Lao (232,000), Taiwanese (230,000), Bangladeshi (147,000), and Burmese (100,000).^[14] The total population of Asian Americans grew by 46 percent from 2000 to 2010 according to the Census Bureau, which constituted the largest increase of any major racial group during that period.^[15]

The 2000 census recorded 11.9 million people (4.2 percent of the total population) who reported themselves as having either full or partial Asian heritage. The largest ethnic subgroups were Chinese (2.7 million), Filipino (2.4 million), Indian (1.9 million), Vietnamese (1.2 million), Korean (1.2 million), and Japanese (1.1 million). Other sizable groups included Cambodians (206,000), Pakistanis (204,000), Lao (198,000), Hmong (186,000), and Thais (150,000).^[16] About one-half of the Asian American population lived in the West, with California having the most total Asian Americans of any state, at 4.2 million.^[16] As a proportion of the total population, Hawaii is the only state with an Asian American majority population, at 58 percent;^[16] Honolulu County had the highest percentage of Asian Americans of any county in the nation, with 62 percent.^[16] In 2000, 69 percent of all Asian Americans were foreign born, although Japanese Americans, 60 percent of whom were born in the United States, bucked this trend.^[17]

Distribution

Template:Asian Americans 2007 metro estimates Template:Asian American numbers in Metropolitan areas

The Asian American population is greatly urbanized, with nearly three-quarters of them living in metropolitan areas with population greater than 2.5 million. The three metropolitan areas with the highest Asian American populations are the Greater Los Angeles Area (1.868 million in 2007), the New York metropolitan area (1.782 million in 2007), and the San Francisco Bay Area (979,000 in 2007).^[18] New York City proper, according to the United States 2010 Census, is home to more than one million Asian Americans, greater than the combined totals of San Francisco and Los Angeles.^[19] Among the ten largest US cities, San Diego has the greatest proportion of Asian Americans.^[20]

A large proportion of all Asian Americans live in California (5.6 million in 2010),^[15] New York (1.6 million in 2010),^[15] and Texas (915,000 in 2007).^[21] Other states with significant Asian American populations during the 2010 census include New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Florida, Virginia, and Massachusetts.^[22] Hawaii had the largest proportion of Asian Americans, with 57% of the state population identifying as Asian or multiracial with at least one part Asian.^[15] In Vermont, Asian Americans are the largest minority.^[21]

Asian American populations have grown significantly since 1970s. However, they are underrepresented in several large urban areas, such as Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Dallas, although in some cases, Asian Americans are concentrated in specific urban neighborhoods or suburbs of these cities.

In regions with large numbers of Asian Americans, communities have developed that are heavily or predominantly Asian. Schools in these areas may offer instruction in languages such as Mandarin. These communities are often given unofficial names to reflect their populations, such as Chinatown, Little Manila, Little India, Little Pakistans, Koreatown, Little Saigons, and Cambodia Town.

Trends

Compared to the majority European American population, Asian Americans tend to have larger families and earn slightly less per capita. They also have higher median income, homeownership rates, and college graduation rates, however.^[23]

Education

Asian Americans have the highest educational attainment of any racial group in the country; about 49.8% of them have at least a bachelor's degree.^[24] Since the 1990s, Asian American students often have the highest math averages in standardized tests such as the SAT^[25]^[26] and GRE.^[27] Their verbal scores generally lag, but their combined scores are usually higher than those of white Americans.^[25] The proportion of Asian Americans at many selective educational institutions far exceeds the national population rate. Asians constitute around 10-20 percent of those attending Ivy League^[28]^[29] and other elite universities. Asian Americans are the largest racial group on seven of the nine University of California campuses,^[30] are the largest racial group of undergraduates in the system,^[31] and make up more than a quarter of graduate and professional students.^[32] Asian Americans are more likely to attend college,^[33] are more likely to apply to competitive colleges,^[34] and have significantly higher college completion level than other races.^[24]

However, there are concerns that the goal of diversity in American higher education has had a negative effect on Asians, with charges of quotas and discrimination starting in the 1980s.^[35]^[36]^[37]^[38] Asian American test scores are also bimodal—Asians are overrepresented both at high scores and low scores.^[39]^[40]

Income

While Asian Americans have higher household and personal income levels than any other racial demographic, the Asian poverty rate is higher than that of European Americans.^[43] In 2005, the median personal income for Asian Americans was estimated at $36,152, compared to $33,030 for Whites, $27,101 for African Americans, and $23,613 for those identifying as Hispanic or Latino. Asian American household income was estimated at $61,094, compared to $48,554 for European Americans. Additionally 28 percent of Asian American households had incomes exceeding $100,000, compared to 18 percent of the overall population. The higher household income rate for Asian Americans is somewhat offset, however, by a larger average household size; in many Asian cultures, children tend to live with their parents well into their late 20s and early 30s. Thus, the median income per household member is slightly lower for Asian American than for European American households.^[44] Asian American demographics present an example of correlation between increased educational attainment and increased income.

^[45]

As of 2008^[update], Asian American households had the highest median income in the US, at $65,637; however, 11.8 percent of Asians were in poverty in 2004, a higher than the 8.6 percent rate for non-Hispanic whites.^[46] Much of this poverty is concentrated in ethnic enclaves, such as Chinatowns.^[47] As with educational achievement, economic prosperity is not uniform among all Asian American groups.^[48] Census figures also show that an average white male with a college diploma earns around $66,000 a year, while similarly educated Asian men earn around $52,000 a year.^[49]

Population growth

Asian American population growth is fueled largely by immigration. Natural population growth accounts for a small proportion of the 43 percent increase in total Asian American population between 2000 and 2010.^[50]

Language

As of 2000^[update], the more prominent languages of the Asian American community include the Chinese languages (Cantonese, Taishanese, and Hokkien), Tagalog, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati.^[51] Currently, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese languages are all used in elections in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington state.^[52]

Religion

Asian Americans' religious preferences are wide ranging, and tends to be more diverse than among other races in the United States.^[53] The growth of Asian American immigration since 1965 has contributed to this diversity.^[54] Until recently, a dearth of scholarship regarding Asian American religious beliefs led to a stereotype that Asian Americans are not religious or spiritual.^[55] Although 59 percent of Asian Americans believe strongly in the existence of one or more gods exist, 30 percent identify as "secular" or "somewhat secular." Only 39 percent of Asian American households belong to a local church or temple, due to atheism or adherence to Eastern religions without congregational traditions.^[56]

Although no one religious affiliation claims a majority of Asian Americans, about 45 percent of them adhere to some form of Christianity.^[57]^[58] A Trinity College survey, conducted in 2008, found that 38 percent of Christian Asian Americans are Catholic;^[59] Filipino Americans are majority Catholic, and a significant minority of Vietnamese Americans are as well.^[54] The Trinity survey also found that of all demographic populations, Asian Americans had the highest number of respondents who did not claim a religion or refused to divulge their religious affiliation.^[59] Various surveys have put this number between 23 to 27 percent of Asian Americans.^[59]^[58] Additionally, the Trinity College survey found that 8% of Asian Americans are Muslim;^[59] many of these Muslim Asian Americans come from, or trace their ancestry to, the following nations: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan.^[60]^[61]

A Gallup poll conducted in 2010 found that Asian Americans were the group least likely to say that religion was important in their daily lives, although a 54 percent majority of respondents still said that religion was important in their daily lives.^[62] In 2012, a survey was conducted by the Pew Research Center of the Faiths of Asian Americans, it found that Christianity had the largest plurality (42%) of Asian American respondents, followed by those who were unaffiliated (26%).^[63] The three next largest faiths, of those who responded, were Buddhist (14%), Hindu (10%), and Muslim (4%).^[63]

Sexuality

According to a Gallup survey conducted from June to September 2012, it found that 4.3 percent of Asian Americans self identify as LGBT; this is greater than the estimated 3.4 percent of American adults that self identify as LGBT in the total population.^[64]
