California's fastest-growing city is now majority Asian [View all]

San Francisco Chronicle / July 6, 2023

The Asian population is growing across the country, and three cities in the Bay Area’s Tri-Valley have some of the fastest-growing Asian communities.

Dublin, Pleasanton and San Ramon were among the top 10 largest cities, with at least 30% of their population identifying as Asian, that had the highest growth since 2010, an analysis of census data shows.

Dublin is the fastest growing city in California overall and its Asian population is fueling that growth. In the last decade, the suburban city’s Asian population grew from about 12,000 in 2010 to nearly 39,000 in 2020 — a 219% increase, according to census data. The Asian populations in Pleasanton and San Ramon — two other Tri-Valley area cities — grew by 94% and 68%, respectively, during the same 10-year period.

The Tri-Valley has had an infusion of new residents who are seeking better housing opportunities and school districts, said Steve Minniear, a volunteer city historian in Dublin.
