Census shows growth among Asian Indians - USATODAY.com: Indians have surpassed Filipinos as the nation's second-largest Asian population after Chinese, a testament to their growing presence in mainstream America from corporate boardrooms to TV sitcoms.
The Census Bureau today released detailed data on the largest Asian subgroups in a dozen states, including California and New York, where the presence of Asian Indians is significant.
Overshadowed by the phenomenal growth in Hispanics documented by the 2010 Census is another significant trend: Asians grew at the same dizzying 43% rate as Hispanics from 2000 to 2010. There are 50.5 million Hispanics and 14.5 million Asians.
New York and New Jersey have traditionally had the largest concentration of Indians, but the data out today show that California's Silicon Valley has lured a substantial number.
