California has the largest, close to 6 million Asian Americans.. Nearly half of Asian Americans live in the West, with about one third in California alone. Some 23% of Asian Americans live in the South, 20% in the Northeast and 12% in the Midwest.
Majority live in multi-generational families, and households that include two or more adult generations, including both grandparents and grandchildren. They also place greater value on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success than other Americans. Among all Asians in the U.S., nearly six in ten are foreign born, significantly larger than the immigrant share among Americans overall and other racial and ethnic groups. (Pew Research Center, 2019).
