Drawing on three surveys taken of Houston's Asian population in 1995, 2002 and 2011, this report documents the distinctiveness of the Asian experience and explores the most important differences in life circumstances, attitudes and beliefs among the area's four largest Asian communities – Vietnamese, Indians/Pakistanis, Chinese/Taiwanese and Filipinos.

With immigration and economic transformation guiding shifts in the Houston area and across the country, this report draws on several years worth of survey data to capture the way these new realities are being experienced by members of Houston's ethnic populations.
