Filipinos are now the second largest Asian group in the United States, according to the latest census bureau report.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The number of Americans who have identified themselves as Filipino, either alone or in combination with another race, totaled 3.4 million<\/strong>, the report showed.<\/p>\n

The total number is believed to be much higher than the census count. There are an estimated one million undocumented Filipinos in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chinese-Americans make up the largest Asian group, with more than 4 million.<\/strong> Those from the Indian subcontinent are the third largest, with 3.2 million.<\/p>\n

Other significantly large Asian groups include the Vietnamese, with 1.7 million; Koreans, with 1.7 million, and the Japanese, with 1.3 million.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This statistical profile was based on the 2010 census of major racial and ethnic groups in the United States.<\/p>\n

Released on March 22, the statistical portrait of the Asian-American and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations was produced for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, which is celebrated annually in May.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The report also showed that Asians were the fastest growing population, increasing nearly 46 per cent over the last decade.<\/strong> Their number increased to more than 17 million from 2000 to 2010.<\/p>\n

A close second was the Latino population, which rose by 43 per cent. By comparison, the African American and white populations grew by only 15 per cent and 7 per cent, respectively.<\/p>\n

Census officials attributed the fast growth of the Asian population to immigration.<\/p>\n

California, known as the gateway for Asian immigrants, had the largest population of Asian Americans, with close to 6 million, or nearly a third of the total nationwide.<\/p>\n

It was followed by New York, with 1.6 million. Hawaii had the highest percentage of Asians, who make up 57 per cent of the island state’s population.<\/strong><\/p>\n
