AAPI Census Data Report (2020)

The results from each Census, conducted every ten years, and the American Community Survey (ACS), which is conducted annually, has wide implications for AAPIs, from determining how federal funds are spent to the drawing of district lines, used to determine everything from local school boards to seats in Congress. The growing footprint of AAPIs across many parts of the country also means that AAPIs have become and will continue to be impactful in deciding elections. Using data from the US Census and ACS, the AAPI Census Data Report provides an overview of the most recent population breakdown by State, including the percentage of the total population, population growth since 2010, and State counties with the largest percentages of AAPIs.

Politics, Social Media, & Peer Outreach: Mobilizing the Asian American Youth Electorate in the South (2022)

Learn more about who these new Americans are and where they can create the most impact.

Spotlight on the 50+ AAPI Population Report (2015)

The Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander population above the age of 50 is one of the fastest growing segments of an already rapidly growing racial group. However, gaps in civic engagement, education, and outreach persist for AAPI, particularly AAPI 50+. There is a lack of outreach for both voting and volunteerism, as well as a lack of outreach through popular mediums, such as ethnic media.
