In
1990, there were 815,447 Indian Americans living in the
United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. This
represents a 125% increase over the 1980 Census figures.
Indians make up 11.2% of the Asian American population,
making them the fourth largest Asian group in the U.S.,
after the Chinese, Filipino, and the Japanese although
Census projections indicate that the Indian American
population may have already surpassed the Japanese American community. Of the 815,447 Indian Americans, 450,406 were born
in India.
The population of the Indian American community is
projected to be 1.2 million by the conclusion of the 2000
Census. (Figures for the 2000 Census will not be available
until 2002). It is anticipated that the population of
non-Indian South Asians will increase dramatically.
