"Today, Ann Arbor has one of the largest Asian American communities in the state. According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, last year "Asian alone" residents were the city's largest minority, at almost 16 percent of the population (plus some portion of the 4 percent identified as two or more races). That's up from less than 12 percent in 2000. However, mirroring national trends, Asians are not new here."
