Understanding the size, characteristics and distribution of the Asian population is important to Asian community stakeholders as well as business, government and organizations that cater to Asian population interests. The Asian population is distributed unevenly throughout the U.S. As of Census 2010, and among Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), the Asian Indian population ranged from a high of 6.6 percent of the total population in the Yuba City, CA MSA to just 44 persons in Farmington, NM MSA. The New York MSA has the largest number of Asian Indians (526,133). Examine the Asian population distribution by type and metro using this interactive table. See more about Asian race groups.
