As the U.S. total population increased from Census 2000 281.4 million to Census 2010 308.7 million (9.7 percent), the Asian population
increased from 10.2 million to 14.7 million (43.3 percent). Of the Asian population, the Asian Indian population (see race categories)
increased from 1.7 million to 2.8 million (69.4 percent).
As shown in the table below, the major sub-groups of the Asian population are Asian Indian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese.
The Asian population is not distributed evenly 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 highest number of Asian Indians is in the New York MSA (526,133).
