U.S. CENSUS BUREAU DEMOGRAPHERS TO DISCUSS ANALYSIS OF ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER DATA AND PREVIEW UPCOMING DETAILS
WASHINGTON – Demographers from the U.S. Census Bureau will join the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders on Thursday to discuss what the 2010 Census numbers reveal about the Asian, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander populations across the country. They will also preview upcoming Census data that offers more detailed ethnic breakdowns of the Asian and Pacific Islander populations.
The Asian population grew faster than any other major race group, increasing 43 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to the latest Census numbers. Demographers from the U.S. Census Bureau will discuss this rapid growth, and provide insights to distributions of the Asian and Pacific Islander populations across the country.
