Demographics of Asian Americans

Demographics of Asian Americans
Census Bureau 2000, Asians in the United States.png

The demographics of Asian Americans describe a heterogeneous group of people in the United States who can trace their ancestry to one or more countries in Asia. Because Asian Americans total less than 5% of the entire U.S. population, the diversity of the group is often disregarded in media and news discussions of "Asians" or of "Asian Americans."

Census population counts and estimates

As of 2009, U.S. census figures showed that about 14.9 million people were reporting themselves as having either full or partial Asian heritage, around 5.0% of the U.S. population.[1] The largest ethnic subgroups are Chinese (3.53 million),[2] Filipinos (3.05 million),[3] Indians (2.77 million),[4] Vietnamese (1.64 million),[5] Koreans (1.56 million),[6] and Japanese (1.22 million).[7] Other sizable groups are Cambodian/Khmer (244,000), Pakistanis (214,000),[8] Laotians (198,000), Hmong (186,000), Thais (150,000),[9] Taiwanese (100,608),[10] and Bangladeshi (75,000).[11]

During the 2000 U.S. census recorded 11.9 million people who reported themselves as having either full or partial Asian heritage, 4.2% of the U.S. population. The largest ethnic subgroups were Chinese (2.7 million), Filipinos (2.4 million), Asian Indians (1.9 million), Vietnamese (1.2 million), Koreans (1.2 million), and Japanese (1.1 million). Other sizable groups are Cambodians (206,000), Pakistanis (204,000), Laotians (198,000), Hmong (186,000), and Thais (150,000).[12] About one-half of the Asian American population lived in the West, with California having the largest Asian American population (4.2 million).[12] As a proportionally to the total population, Hawaii had a majority Asian American population (58 percent);[12] furthermore Honolulu county had the highest percentage of Asian Americans (62 percent) of any county in the nation.[12] The Asian American population is heavily urbanized, with nearly three-quarters of Asian Americans living in metropolitan areas with population greater than 2.5 million. Asian Americans are concentrated in the largest U.S. cities, with 40% of all Asian Americans living in the metropolitan areas around Los Angeles, New York City, and San Francisco.

As of 2000, 69% of all Asian Americans were foreign born, although Japanese Americans stood out with about 60% being born in the United States.[13]

The Asian American population is heavily urbanized, with nearly three-quarters of Asian Americans 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–Northern New Jersey–Long Island Area (1.782 million in 2007), and the San Francisco Bay Area (979,000 in 2007).[16] New York City alone, according to the United States 2010 Census, has now become home to more than one million Asian Americans, greater than the combined totals of San Francisco and Los Angeles.[17] New York City contained the highest total Asian population of any U.S. city proper, and among the ten largest U.S. cities San Diego had the greatest proportion.[18] By American states, a large proportion of all Asian Americans live in California (5 million in 2007), New York (1.4 million in 2007), Texas (915,000 in 2007),[19] New Jersey, and Hawaii.

In regions with large numbers of Asian Americans, suburban communities have developed that are heavily or predominantly Asian. The schools in these areas may offer languages such as Mandarin as a second language. Since the 1970s, in addition to Chinatowns, "Little Manila", "Little Indias", "Little Pakistans", Koreatowns, "Little Saigons", and "Cambodia Towns" have appeared in several cities.

Since the 1970s, populations of Asian Americans have been visible and are growing. Large Japantowns once existed up and down the West Coast because of extensive Japanese immigration. The ones that remain are vestiges of once vibrant pre-World War II communities whose members, like other Americans, moved out into the suburbs and larger communities. They are "underrepresented" (against the national aggregate) in several of the largest areas, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Dallas-Fort Worth, although sizable concentrations (double the national percentage) can be found in some urban neighborhoods, such as Albany Park in Chicago and Olney in Philadelphia. Additionally, similar Asian populations are found in suburbs of these cities such as Naperville and Evanston near Chicago; Millbourne, King of Prussia, and Cherry Hill near Philadelphia; Richardson, Carrollton, and Plano in Dallas-Fort Worth; Lowell and Lexington near Boston and Las Vegas. This pattern reflects their later arrival and response to changing economic conditions in some cities.

Asian Americans tend to have larger families and earn slightly less per capita than European American populations. However, they have higher median income than European Americans as well as higher percentage of home ownership and college graduation rate.[21] The proportion of Asian Americans at many selective educational institutions far exceeds the national population rate.

Many immigrants are often forced to work in minimum wage or below-minimum wage jobs, including menial sweatshop or restaurant labor, because they fear that mainstream employers will not hire them. If they are an illegal immigrant, employers will report them to the government.

Education

See also: Education outcomes in the United States by race and other classifications

Asian Americans have the highest educational attainment of any racial group. About 49% of Asian Americans have at least a bachelor's degree.[22] Asian people often have the highest math averages in tests such as SAT, GRE etc. Since the 1990s, although verbal scores generally lag, combined SAT scores have also been higher than for white Americans.[citation needed] Asians constitute around 10-20% of those attending Ivy League and other elite universities.

Asian Americans are the largest racial group on all but one of the nine fully established University of California campuses. Chinese Americans make up 25% of the undergraduate student body. Asian Americans make up only 4% of the American population, but they are more likely to attend college, go to graduate school, and earn higher grades than any other ethnic group in the United States.

There was, and to some extent still are concerns that the goal of "diversity" has had a negative effect on Asians who are usually over-represented with charges of quotas and discrimination starting in the 1980s.[citation needed] Asian American test scores are also bi-modal, with disproportionate numbers of Asians not only at high scores, but also low scores.[citation needed] Asian education tradition is usually based on traditional respect for authority, memorization and hard work, but these values have not been a hindrance to their critical thinking or in solving problems and questions that don't have one correct answer.[citation needed]

Income

Further information: Income in the United States
Median household and personal income along racial lines.[23][24]

Asian Americans have household and personal income levels that exceed those of any other racial demographic, yet the Asian poverty rate is higher than for European Americans.[25] In 2005 the median personal income for Asian Americans was estimated to be $36,152, compared to $33,030 for Whites, $27,101 for African Americans and $23,613 for those identifying as Hispanic or Latino. Asian Americans had the highest household income levels of any racial demographic with a median household income of $61,094, compared to $48,554 among European American households. Additionally 28% of Asian American households had incomes exceeding $100,000, while only 18% of the overall population boasted such household incomes. The higher household income for Asian Americans is, however, somewhat offset by a larger household size (note that in many Asian cultures, children tend to live with their parents well into their late 20s and early 30s, even those who hold regular jobs), leading to the median income per household member being slightly lower for Asian American than for European American households.[26] As the differences between the personal income levels among Asian Americans and those of other races are smaller than the racial discrepancies in household income levels, it becomes apparent that Asian Americans have a higher percentage 2+ income earner households. Overall, the higher personal income levels are attributed mostly to higher educational attainment.

As of 2008, Asian American households had the highest median income at $65,637; however, 11.8 percent of Asians were in poverty in 2004, higher than the 8.6 percent rate for non-Hispanic whites.[28] Much of this poverty is concentrated in ethnic enclaves such as Chinatowns in the cities[29] Census figures also show that a white male with a college diploma earns in excess of $66,000 a year, far more than similarly educated Asian men who earned more than $52,000 a year.[30] Asians however are more likely to complete higher education particularly and are the highest group by percentage with graduate degrees.[31]

Population growth

Asian American population growth is fueled by immigration. Natural population growth accounts for a small proportion of the increase. It is noteworthy that the Asian American population grew at over 43% in the last decade.[32]

Language

As of 2000, the more prominent languages of the community include the Chinese languages (Cantonese, Taishanese, Hokkien), Tagalog, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati.[36] Currently, Chinese languages, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese are all used in elections in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington.[37]
