ABOUT INDIAN AMERICANS
Indian Americans are among the fastest growing immigrant groups in America. The 2000 Census shows that the Indian American population stands at nearly 1.7 million people. That is approximately a 106% growth since 1990.

Indian Americans are one of the wealthiest and best-educated communities in the United States. With a median household income of $60,093, compared with $41,110 for non-Hispanic white families, there are few groups that have comparable income levels.
