[Ndtv India] Indian-Americans Have Lowest Poverty Rate Among Asian Americans: Research

According to a study by the Pew Research Center, Indian-Americans have the lowest poverty rate among all Asian groups living in the US, with a rate of 6%. This is in contrast to Burmese and Hmong Americans, who have the highest poverty rates.

The study found that over 2.3 million people with Asian roots were living in poverty in the US in 2022. Despite this, one out of every three Asian Americans aged 25 and older living in poverty has a bachelor’s degree. Interestingly, Asian Americans aged 25 and older with at least a bachelor’s degree are less likely to live in poverty (5%) compared to those with lower levels of education (13%).

The study also revealed that around six out of ten Asian Americans living in poverty were immigrants. Among these immigrants aged 5 and older living below the poverty line, only 44% are proficient in English. By comparison, 61% of those immigrants above the poverty line speak English proficiently..
