It was reported this morning in the Dallas Morning News that, according to the most recent census, the Asian population in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area increased by a whopping 75 percent over the last ten years. Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, and other Asians are increasingly present throughout the greater Dallas area.
The list of numbers provided to illustrate the growth was impressive. The Asian population of Dallas increased by 35 percent over the last ten years to almost 120,000. They now represent 5 percent of the total population of Dallas. In Tarrant County the Asian population increased from 52,594 to 84,561: a growth of 60 percent. There are 31,890 Indians living in Collin County. There are 29,128 Vietnamese living in Tarrant county. There are 6,473 Koreans living in Denton County.
Rockwall County is located just northeast of Dallas. It is the smallest county in the greater Dallas area. It also experienced a growth in its Asian population. According to the census, there are now 62 Japanese living in Rockwall County. What I want to know is are they sure? Are they certain that there are not 61, or 63? Maybe one was out visiting one of the 23 Japanese who live in Kaufman County.
