“Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) are among the fastest growing population groups in the United States, according to the 2020 Census. The largest number of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders live in California.

A new national report released in June by AAPI Data, a publisher of demographic data and policy research on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, detailed stark contrasts between AANHPI population groups when it comes to language proficiency, education, poverty rates and housing in the U.S. Despite this, many public and private agencies continue to group AANHPI groups into one super-category, neglecting to acknowledge differences in cultural traditions and histories.”
