Indian-Americans form 3rd largest Asian population in U.S.
As many as 56 percent of the Asian-American population lives in the top five states of California, New York, Texas, New Jersey, and Hawaii.
The largest concentration of Indian-Americans is in three States - California (19 percent), New York (12 percent) and New Jersey (10 percent). Hindus (51 percent) are in majority among Indian-American, followed by Christians (18 percent), Muslims (10 percent), Sikhs (5 percent), Jains (2 percent) and Buddhists (1 percent).
Some smaller groups such as Bangladeshi-Americans are growing at an exceptional rate - 177 percent between 2000 and 2010. If this rate is maintained, it will have a large impact on the future diversity of the Asian-American community, the report, by Karthick Ramakrishnan and Farah Ahmad, said.
"Indeed, we might even see new forms of detailed origin identification. For example, it is possible that, as these South Asian populations grow and settle longer in the United States, we might see a new consolidated subgrouping of South Asians that is used fairly commonly among second-generation immigrants on many college campuses and increasingly among social service organisations," the report said.
