NHPIs?

Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders.

Who are they?

At more than 1.2 million people, they are roughly .4 percent of the U.S. population. But the group has grown by 40 percent since 2000 and in places you wouldn’t think, like Utah and Arkansas.

Here’s the top 20 NHPI with their corresponding population from the 2010 Census:

Native Hawaiian 527,077

Samoan 184,440
