NYC is a little different from other U.S. metros, in that it has very large working class Asian enclaves living very in very urban environments. Bangladeshis in the Bronx, Pakistanis on Coney Island Ave., Fujianese in Sunset Park, etc.

CA has some of this, but it's more about the giant SGV, Northern OC and Silicon Valley suburban-style communities. And, at least in the Bay Area, the Asian population is very professional-oriented and higher income. NYC metro has upper income Asian ethnoburbs, in NJ and on LI, but not to the same extent as CA.
