Asian Americans by Subgroup in Massachusetts*

While the population estimates of Asian American subgroups in the 2004 ACS may not be reliable because of the small sample sizes, it appears likely that the population of Chinese, Indians, and Vietnamese in the state increased from 2000 to 2004. It also appears that the number of Cambodians in the state decreased.
