About this data
Counts people who reported this Asian group alone (table B02015). People who reported more than one race or group are not included, so totals are conservative.
Several U.S. cities have a neighborhood known as Little India. Census figures are published for cities, counties and ZIP codes rather than named neighborhoods, so the rankings here show where Indian Americans live across whole places.
Figures are American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates and have margins of error, which are larger for small places.
