But Indian-Americans are getting there.<\/strong> A demographic snapshot of South Asians in the US crunched out from the 2010 US Census by an NGO group shows the Indian-American population in the US (including multiple ethnicities) grew 68% over the 2000-2010 decade from 1.9 million to 3.19 million. Counting single ethnicity (discounting mixed race), the population grew from 1.67 million to 2.84 million in the same period.<\/p>\n

That made Indian-Americans the third largest Asian-American group in the US after Chinese-Americans (3.79 million) and Filipino-Americans (3.42 million), but with a much faster growth rate.<\/strong> People who identified themselves as Indian origin comprise the largest segment of the 3.4 million-strong ‘South Asian Americans,’ a 1990s nomenclature engineered by the Washington mandarins.<\/p>\n

According to data released by the Asian American Foundation and Saalt, an organization devoted to strengthening South Asian Communities in America, the voting age population of Indian-Americans (who are US citizens) has now crossed 1 million.<\/strong> It grew 100% from 2000, when it was 576,000, to 1.15 million in 2010.<\/p>\n

While the South Asian community as a whole grew 78% over the past decade, the Indian-American growth rate, however, was the slowest in this group.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bangladeshi community experienced the most significant growth, jumping 212% to 147,300 in 2010. The combined Bhutanese and Nepali populations grew by at least 155%.<\/p>\n
