Metropolitan Areas with the Highest Proportion of Asian Americans (2000 Census)

In regions with large numbers of Asian Americans, communities have developed that are heavily or predominantly Asian. Schools in these areas may offer instruction in languages such as Mandarin. These communities are often given unofficial names to reflect their populations, such as Chinatown, Little Manila, Little India, Little Pakistans, Koreatown, Little Saigons, and Cambodia Town.
