We very much can. These numbers have a 5% margin of error and have a very sound methodology.

As for growth of non-foreign born Asians, those numbers are available as well. Ill dig them up.

Yeah thats what we meant. Foreign born South Asians in the Raleigh area doesn’t really mean anything. It does nothing since most South Asians enter through NJ or California.

A lot of children of immigrants are leaving C/NNJ for RDU CLT ATL...

This right here.

I don't know about "most". I don't know if you meant the term literally but here were the states where Indians and Pakistanis entered in 2022. These are DHS numbers so they are exact. No margin of error needed. I listed all over 4,000:

California: 26,216
Texas: 15,481
New Jersey: 12,944
Virginia: 6,266
Illinois: 6,125
Georgia: 5,503
New York: 5,188
Florida: 4,424
North Carolina: 4,287

Seems Texas is the other big player, but there were 127,027 Indians that immigrated to the US in 2022. Even if you added, NJ, CA, and TX, it wouldnt be most.

Pakistan on the other hand is more lopsided:

Texas: 2,006
New York: 2,004
California: 1,200

Considering only 10,177 immigrated to the US from Pakistan, those three states do constitute most of the immigrants from there.

Just so we put numbers to the claim of "Raleigh and Atlanta will rival Northern NJ for South Asian growth", see below. These include domestic born. These are for Indians only though which keep the NYC numbers lower since they get a large number of Bangladeshi and Pakistanis. Atlanta and Raleigh don't so its pretty encompassing for them:

From 2012-2022:

New York City Metro Area (which includes Northern and Central Jersey): 135,004
Atlanta: 63,861
Raleigh: 28,909

The growth in Atlanta and Raleigh is substantial. Its not Northern Jersey nor will it be rivaling it.

I want to say 50-60% of homes.. and about 80% of homes over $500k, at the time, were to South Asian home buyers.

Yeah it's not really possible to sort by price-range in the ROD database (which is indicated by Revenue Stamps; not a field and only visible on the uploaded deed itself) for Wake; but the average price for new construction is closer to $750k+as well so I'm sure the same correlation would exist for resale homes as well.

I would not be surprised if by 2030 census Wake is over 20% Asian (it was right around 9% in 2020)... with Cary, Apex, and Holly Springs joining Morrisville in having an Asian plurality (Morrisville will almost certainly be majority Asian by that point if it isn't already).

Is this true? I didn’t think the “Asian Alone by Selected Groups” table cares whether someone is American or foreign-born.

In reference to the numbers I posted, they are foreign born only. If youre talking about the Demographics Thread general numbers, "Asian" would include foreign and US born.

Northern Virginia for Koreans. Research Triangle for Indians. Chinese, IDK maybe some Jersey suburbs?

While the numbers are not going to be as large as the mega metro areas, Virginia Beach and Jacksonville both have very substantial and growing Filipino populations. The presence of major naval bases in these coastal cities is likely a key factor.
