Census Releases Data on Asian Subgroups
By Neela Banerjee
Just released Census 2000 reports show that Chinese and Filipino American communities continue to dominate the Asian American population, but Indian and Vietnamese American numbers increased at the fastest rates and showed the most growth.
Chinese Americans still constitute the largest Asian American subgroup, with a population growth of 48 percent, from 1.6 million in 1990 to over 2.4 million now. Filipino Americans have gone from 1.4 million to over 1.8 million in the past 10 years.
These big population changes fit in with the overall analysis that Asian Americans are now the fastest growing group in the United States.
