Indian-Americans form 3rd largest Asian population in U.S.
WASHINGTON: Indian-Americans numbering 3.34 million is the third largest Asian community in the United States, after China and Philippines, a report said.
The Indian-American population shot up 76 percent in the first 12 years of the 21st century, a report on demographics of the Asian-American population released by the Center for American Progress said.
While the Chinese-Americans form the largest group of Asian-American population with 4.1 million (22 per cent), Filipinos-Americans are placed second with 3.59 million (19 percent) followed by Indian-Americans with 3.34 million (18 percent).
Indian-Americans grew 76 per cent from 2000 to 2012, compared to Filipino-Americans who expanded by 52 per cent in the corresponding period.
The top six groups - Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese - account for 85 percent of all Asian-American residents.
Japanese-Americans - who were once in the top two Asian-American communities - have seen a decline in population share. They form the smallest of the top six groups.
"While this shows a fair amount of national origin concentration, it nevertheless represents a decline from 89 per cent for these top six groups in 2000, as smaller Asian American groups have grown disproportionately in the last decade," the report said.
