Asian surnames risen as homeoners

I found this information informative from SFGate.com, as within the decade in the Bay Area, homeowners with Asian surnames (I wonder if they counted Lee’s in that list?) have risen up 15% from 2000. Census Bureau gathered the data and the Wall Street Journal also found that the 10 most common surnames in the Bay Area were populated from people of Vietnamese, Chinese or Korean decent.

Quite amazing to see as Nguyen was the number one spot in the list and not a more generic last name like Smith or Johnson…who knows, maybe this is the start of John or Joe Nguyen.
