  1. Arabic 367 Identities within the community

  2. Demographics • Arab Americans were undercounted in the 1990 Census, as were many other ethnic, minority, and immigrant populations. Because being of Arab heritage is an ethnicity, Arabs (like Hispanics) are not counted separately in the race question on the Census, but there is no separate ethnic question for Arabs.

  3. In 2000 Census the data indicate that "most Arab Americans are of Lebanese or Syrian origin, but the population of  Egyptian, Palestinian, and Iraqi Americans has been growing steadily.", two-thirds (66%) lived in ten states, and one-third (33%) lived in California, New York, and Michigan. About half (48%) lived in just 20 metropolitan areas; as of 1990 the top six were Los Angeles, Detroit, New York, Northeastern New Jersey, Chicago, and Washington, DC. • http://www.allied-media.com/Arab-American/Arab%20american%20Demographics.htm • http://www.pbs.org/itvs/caughtinthecrossfire/arab_americans.html
