The size of the Korean communities in New York stood at some 144-thousand, in Texas roughly 109-thousand and about 93-thousand in Virginia.
According to the data, one out of two ethnic Koreans were born in the U.S. About 54 percent of ethnic Koreans in the U.S. were born in South Korea, down nearly three percentage points from five years ago.
