Most of Virginia's Asian population lives in metropolitan and suburban areas of Northern Virginia, especially Arlington, Fairfax, and Loudoun counties, where Asian Americans comprise at least 10% of the total population.
[2][3] The largest Asian group are Indians, who are at least 110,000 in number as per the 2010 US Census reports,[citation needed] and at least 1.2% of the state's population.
The county's Asian population is larger than most places in the state and country partly due to its school system, Fairfax County Public Schools, noted for having higher standards of education and test scores.
Within Fairfax County, large populations exist within Chantilly, Centreville, and Floris/Herndon areas.
Virginia Beach has a significant Filipino population, at least 4%, and some Chinese, Indian, Korean and Vietnamese residents which make up 1% or less.
