Sixty-eight percent of Honolulu residents reported as Asian in the last Census. Among places with 100,000 or more residents,
the only other that had more than one-half of its population reporting
as Asian was Daly City, Calif. (54 percent). All of the remaining
cities among the 10 with the highest percentage of Asians in their
population were in California: Fremont, Sunnyvale, San Francisco,
Irvine, Garden Grove, Santa Clara, Torrance and San Jose.
