At the city level it's 71.3 percent white (in combination) and 6.5 percent Asian (in combination) for 77.8 percent. If you only include white alone and Asian alone, it's 68.8 percent (63.7 percent white alone and 5.1 percent Asian alone).

At the county level, it may have the highest combined percent of any county with a population of 1-million plus.

Allegheny County is 82.2 percent white (in combination) and 5.2 percent Asian (in combination) for 87.4 percent. Allegheny is 76 percent white alone and 4 percent Asian alone for 80 percent.

Don't see how either qualify...of course in combination it's high when you've like 70%+ white.

And you're just ignoring the fact that the 2nd highest racial group is not Asian, but African-American in both Pittsburgh and Allegheny County?

Places like Sugar Land TX (As somebody mentioned):
39% White alone (non-Hispanic)
38.1% Asian (So 77.1% White+Asian)
12% Hispanic
7% Arican-American

Or Plano, TX:
49.8% White alone (non-Hispanic)
22.3% Asian (So 72.1% White+Asian)
15.8% Hispanic
8.6% African-American

Are your "White-Asian" city. Similar places include Alpharetta, GA:
53.6% White alone (non-Hispanic)
22.2% Asian (So 75.8% White+Asian)
7.6% Hispanic
12.1% African-America

Then you have college towns like Ithaca NY:
64.1% White alone (non-Hispanic)
16.1% Asian (So 80.2% White+Asian)
8.4% Hispanic
5.7% African-American

Or Ann Arbor MI:
67.5% White alone (non-Hispanic)
16.7% Asian (So 84.2% White+Asian...beat that, Fort Lee NJ )
4.6% Hispanic
6.7% African-American

Or smaller Asian population but still quite White+Asian like Bloomington IN:
77.3% White alone (non-Hispanic)
10.2% Asian (87.5% White+Asian )
4.5% Hispanic
4.4% African-American

Out of all those Sugar Land is definitely the most "White-Asian"...not quite Fort Lee, NJ but close.

isn't this just an exercise in identifying places that are the least Black and Hispanic?

Not necessarily...

Take Parkersburg WV for example, 93.5% Non-Hispanic White and 0.3% Asian (2.3% Black, 0.7% Hispanic). It's very "non-Black" and "non-Hispanic" but it doesn't make it a "White-Asian" city, especially since Blacks is actually the largest non-"White alone" group.

But then there are also places like Carmel, IN, which is 78.2% non-Hispanic white, 11.1% Asian, 2.8% Black, and 4.0% Hispanic. It's technically somewhat "White-Asian" but the percentage of Asian isn't really THAT high either.

Irvine, which to me feels more Asian than white honestly:

American Indian/Alaska Native 0.2%
Asian 43.6%
Hispanic or Latino 10.7%
Native Hawaiian or Other Hispanic Islander 0.4%
Black/African American 1.5%
White 44.9%
Two or more races 7.0%
White alone, not Hispanic or Latino 38.3%


I believe this beats Ft. Lee

[lol idk]

Troy, Michigan

62.2% White
27.3% Asian

Nextdoor Palisades Park is also high - 2010 Census 57.84% Asian (vast majority Korean), and 28.9% White.

Depends how it's measured I guess?

I wasn't ignoring anything and even said "since nobody said what the ratio had to be"

Pittsburgh does have a noticeable Asian community. May not be huge but when you combine it with Whites/Asians... yeah it becomes even more noticeable.

Either way, it's the biggest place i've been in the greater NE/MW/Great Lakes/Rust Belt region where Asians seemingly outnumber Hispanics and also come somewhat close to equaling blacks.
