How many Chinese-Americans are there in New York City?
According to the 1990 census, the Chinese population in the five boroughs of New York City was 240,000. This was proven to be an undercount by the Census Bureau. Each year, more than 20,000 immigrants have made New York City their place of destination. Along with natural increase, the Chinese population by the year 2000 will come to at least half a million. If we take into account the Chinese population of the Greater New York area, the numbers may run to 700,000.
