Vancouver and Victoria were more Chinese+Japanese, as a percentage of population than even
San Francisco back then. Vancouver's 13 011 Chinese in 1931 is not too far off from San Francisco's 16 303 Chinese in 1930, considering how much larger San Francisco was back then.
Were Vancouver and San Francisco the only North American cities (not counting Honolulu, or anywhere in Hawaii) that had Asian populations in the five-digit mark in much of the 20th century?
