    U.S. cities with significant Chinese-American populations

    List of U.S. cities with significant Chinese-American populations

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    New York City is home to the largest Chinese American population of any city proper, with over half a million.

    Multiple large Chinatowns in
    Manhattan, Brooklyn (above), and Queens are thriving as traditionally urban enclaves, as large-scale Chinese immigration continues into

    New York,[1][2][3][4]with the largest metropolitan Chinese population outside Asia.

    U.S. cities with significant Chinese-American populations




    Cities considered to have large Chinese American populations are large cities or municipalities with a critical mass of at least 1% of the total urban population; medium-sized cities with a critical mass of at least 1% of their total population; and small cities with a critical mass of at least 10% of the total population.

    According to the 2012 Census estimates,[6]the three metropolitan areas with the largest Chinese American populations were theGreater New York Combined Statistical Areaat 735,019 people, the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland Combined Statistical Area at 629,243 people, and the Greater Los Angeles Combined Statistical Area at about 566,968 people. In the post-1965 era, first- and second-generation immigrants include those from Mainland China, Taiwan,Hong Kong and Macau. Also included in the Chinese American population enumeration are ethnic Chinese from Vietnam who might consider themselves more Chinese than Vietnamese, thus skewing Census reporting.

    New York City is home to by far the highest Chinese American population of any city proper, with an estimated 522,619 Chinese Americans in New York City,[7] significantly higher than the total of the next five cities combined; multiple large Chinatowns in Manhattan, Brooklyn (three), and Queens (three) are thriving as traditionally urban enclaves, as large-scale Chinese immigration continues into New York,[8][9][10][11] with the largest metropolitan Chinese population outside Asia.[12] The Los Angeles County city of Monterey Park has the highest percentage of Chinese Americans of any municipality, at 43.7% of its population, or 24,758 people. The San Gabriel Valley region of Los Angeles County in particular has one of the most prominent collections of U.S. suburbs with large foreign-born Chinese-speaking populations, ranging from working-class individuals residing in Rosemead and El Monte to wealthier immigrants living in Arcadia, San Marino, and Diamond Bar. A similar demographic shift has also taken place in the southern half of the San Francisco Bay Area.

    Conversely, the suburbs of New York City within the state of New Jersey are notable for their widespread and increasing prevalence of Chinese Americans (see list below), reflecting their general affluence and propensity for professional occupations.

    As the city proper with the nation's largest Chinese American population by a wide margin, with an estimated 522,619 individuals in 2012,[7] and as the primary destination for new Chinese immigrants,[2] New York City is subdivided into official municipal boroughs, which themselves are home to significant Chinese populations, with Brooklyn and Queens, adjacently located on Long Island, leading the fastest growth.[13][14] (Note that The Bronx, with 6,891 Chinese Americans, comprising a sub-threshold 0.5% of the borough's population, is not listed in this table.) Other than New York City taken as a whole, Queens is home to the highest Chinese American population of any municipality in the United States, followed closely by Brooklyn.

    California - San Francisco Bay Area[edit]


    Traditionally centered in San Francisco and Chinatown Oakland, the suburbanization of the Bay Area's Chinese American population has resulted in significant concentrations in the southwestern East Bay, eastern Peninsula, and northern Santa Clara County.
