Spartan Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 WASHINGTON: Indian-Americans have long been recognized by US agencies and socio-political cognoscenti as America's best-educated and wealthiest ethnic group. However, a snapshot released by the US Census Bureau this week reveals that the median household income for Indian-Americans has crossed the $100,000 per annum milestone, the highest for any ethnic group, including white, native-born Americans.In fact, the groundbreaking figure was crossed almost two years ago in 2013 but came to light only on Friday when the US Census Bureau put it out as part of the Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month which is celebrated in May. According to the bureau, the median income of households headed by the Asian population in 2013 was $72,472, much higher then than national median income of around $51,000.But even among Asian-Americans, Indian-Americans racked it up at $100,547, almost double the national median income, and significantly more than even white, non-Hispanic Americans whose median income is approximately $57,000. Indian-Americans also out-earned other South Asian groups such as Pakistani-Americans ($63,000) and Bangladeshi-Americans ($51,000). Previously, the census bureau's "American Community Survey in 2010" had put the Indian-American median family income at $86,135. In contrast to the high-earning groups, the median income of Black-American households was $33,321 and that of Hispanic households was $39,005. Though the census report did not address the religious angle, other surveys have long indicated that Jewish-Americans come closest to Indian-Americans in terms of income and education. According to a US Religious Landscape Study by Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life in 2008, 46% of Jews reported family incomes of over $100,000 compared to 19% of all Americans, with the next highest group being Hindus at 43%. And while 27% of Americans have had college or postgraduate education, 59% of American Jews have it, the second highest of any religious group after American Hindus.
