Fremont ranks as the city with the largest percentage of its population that is Asian according to the most recent Census data. With over 57% of the population being of Asian descent, Fremont was a solid four percentage points ahead of the closest city in Honolulu. Futhermore, it’s become more Asian over the past several years — 24% more in fact. Fremont is located outside of San Jose and San Francisco, across the Bay.

The second most Asian city in America is Honolulu — the only other big city in the US that has greater than 50% Asian population. Honolulu is incredibly diverse overall as a large percentage of its residents also identify as Hawaiian, which makes sense. It also makes sense that it would have such a large portion of its residents be Asian since it’s so close to Asia.
