Asian Americans and the Suburbs

Asian Americans have been moving to the suburbs in increasing numbers since the 1960s. In 1970, only 10% of Asian Americans lived in the suburbs. By 2000, that number had grown to 40%. Today, more than half of Asian Americans live in the suburbs.

There are a number of reasons for this increase in suburbanization. One reason is the growing affluence of Asian Americans. As Asian Americans have become more economically successful, they have been able to afford to move to the suburbs. Another reason is the desire for better schools and a higher quality of life. The suburbs often offer better schools and more amenities than urban areas.

However, Asian Americans have not always been welcomed in the suburbs. They have faced discrimination and exclusion from white residents. In some cases, Asian Americans have been denied access to housing, schools, and other public services. In other cases, they have been subjected to harassment and violence.
