WHAT DOES the Asian/American & Pacific Islander community look like to number crunchers? Of course, there is more to AAPI's that can't be translated into numbers but it helps to see how non-AAPI see us.
Generally - as a group, we're younger than the rest of the U.S. and a lot of us prefer living in California followed by New York. If you want to stop feeling like a minority, go to Hawaii.
Here is some information from the U.S. Census Bureau with links to the source of the numbers. This is the type of data that could be helpful for those of you writing grants and trying to establish programs. I apologize I didn't have fancy graphs for those of you more visually inclined but due to my limited resources, I can only give the numbers.
