Considering it's dominated by a universities and related spin-offs, Tompkins County is rather atypical of upstate NY and the high Asian % is not surprising.

That is true and that is the case with many college towns. It is the case with certain industries as well. For instance, Gang Mills outside of Corning NY is a little over 13% Asian. That may be due to Corning Inc. Brighton outside of Rochester is about 14% Asian and you have other towns and neighborhoods up here with notable to above average Asian percentages. Even here in Syracuse, there are quite a few Asian(E, S and SE) markets, clubs/groups, churches, etc. So, even outside of Ithaca/Tompkins County, you can find places with above average Asian percentages.

I think the Hispanic percentage of most California cities is growing more than the Asian population is, while I believe on the East Coast, the Asian percentage is the demographic that's growing the quickest.

I believe that the Hispanic population is growing on the East Coast as well, but probably not at the same rate.

Yeah, I'm not implying the Hispanic population isn't growing on the East Coast. But I think the Asian population is growing much faster than the Hispanic population

California Hispanic growth: 28%
California Asian growth: 31%

New Jersey Hispanic Growth: 39%
New Jersey Asian growth: 51%

New York Hispanic growth: 19%
New York Asian growth: 36%

From Mapping the 2010 U.S. Census - NYTimes.com

In Maryland and Virginia, the Hispanic population is growing much faster

Interesting information and I wouldn't be surprised if the higher percentage of both groups in NJ is due to people moving out of NYC.

I don't know. I live in New Jersey, and a lot of Asians and Indians seem to be moving here directly from their homelands. There are signficant communities established here--why would they want to go to New York first when they have friends/families/networks in a place already?

I don't have any data on this, just basing on my observations as well as a lot of the questions we get on the NJ forum from people in India moving to New Jersey. They aren't stopping in New York City first.

You are probably right, as Central Jersey does seem to get quite a few East and South Asians due to Rutgers, Princeton and the pharmeceutical industry there.

The Asian population is more NYC centered in the NYC metro, but part of the reason is NYC contains a rather large % of the metro by population % (over 40%). The inner suburbs in north Jersey and parts of Nassau County have a high Asian population.

In the entire western US, the Asian population has grown almost at the same rate as the hispanic population from 1980 to 2010.

From 2000 to 2010, California's Asian population grew by 40% while the Hispanic population grew by 30%. In absolute numbers, the hispanic population grew by much more, as the base was much higher.
