According to population estimates released today by the U.S. Census Bureau, Asian Americans continue to be the country’s fastest growing racial group, now numbering 21.4 million nationwide. In the six years following the 2010 Census, the country’s Asian American population grew 21%; in contrast, the nation’s total population grew less than 5% over the same period. The country added 3.7 million Asian Americans between 2010 and 2016 and 629,813 between 2015 and 2016 alone.
