The Asian Population

The report "The American Community - Asians: 2004," shows that about one-half of Asians in the United States lived in three states -- California, New York, and Texas. California (with about 35 percent), had more than one-third of the Asian population, followed by New York (about 10 percent) and Texas (about 6 percent). The ten states with the largest Asian populations in 2004 were California, New York, Texas, New Jersey, Hawaii, Illinois, Washington, Florida, Virginia, and Massachusetts. Combined, these states represented about three-fourths of the total Asian population.
