NYC Proper only (not MSA or CSA). Anomalous vis a vis the majority of the USA in that it has a relatively large South Asian Population, especially Bangladeshi and Pakistani. I would not be surprised if the Bangladeshi population overtook Korean as the 3rd largest Asian sub group within a decade or even sooner.
