An interesting statement. St. Paul and Columbus both have pretty sizable Asian populations (St. Paul percentage wise is much more impressive than Columbus though). Other places like Minneapolis, Milwaukee, etc have kind of sizable ones too but the pure fact is that downtown Chicago alone has more Asian alone people than a lot of cities have total. Add in the areas south of downtown like Chinatown, Bridgeport, Douglas+rest of Bronzeville, McKinley Park, Brighton Park, Kenwood, Hyde Park (and areas like Fuller Park and Washington Park around it for completeness) and that area has even more..
1. Downtown Chicago + Chinatown area down to Hyde Park: 68,646 Asian alone people (total population of this area = 454,443. Asian % = 15.11%)
2. Jersey City, NJ: 65,180 Asian alone people
3. Austin: 61,234 people
4. St. Paul, MN: 51,238 people
5. Charlotte: 48,042 people
6. Portland: 46,488 people
7. Dallas: 41,273 people
8. Columbus, OH: 40,774 people
9. Las Vegas: 39,150 people
10. San Antonio: 38,172 people
11. Greater Downtown Chicago: 31,710 people
12. Fort Worth: 30,883 people
13. Oklahoma City: 27,090 people
4. Minneapolis: 23,839 people
15. Indianapolis: 23,750 people
16. Washington DC: 23,675 people
17. Milwaukee: 22,813 people
18. Nashville: 22,655 people
19. Atlanta: 18,130 people
20. Pittsburgh: 16,802 people
21. Baltimore: 15,685 people
22. Kansas City: 11,834 people
23. Des Moines: 11,685 people
24. New Orleans: 11,062 people
25. Detroit: 9636 people
26. St. Louis: 9561 people
27. Cleveland: 7660 people
28. Cincinnati: 5297 people
29. Miami: 3561 people
Also, that entire "surrounding" area increased by 17,666 Asian people. That increase is more than what the entire cities (individually) like Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Miami, etc have and barely below the entire Asian population of Atlanta city proper.
