I know that there are some in CA and HI, which shouldn't surprise anyone.

But are there very many Asian-majority municipalities outside of those traditional areas? I only know of one--Millbourne, PA, which is predominantly South Asian. Are there any others? How do such areas vote?

There's also Palisades Park, NJ (58% Asian), which is actually majority Korean.

My guess would be Edison, New Jersey, but apparently it is only 43% Asian.

Which was not even plurality at the 2010 Census, though it might be by now.

Plainsboro, NJ is also plurality-Asian at 46%.

I thought Fort Lee would be or close - but it's "only" 38%.

West Windsor and Plainsboro, NJ are getting there. Although I do feel like Asian is really misleading in this case because Indians and Chinese view themselves as the same ethnic group, and neither one of the communities overwhelms the other in NJ towns...

There aren't any municipalities in Hawaii, just so everyone knows.

That being said, I wish that Asians and Indians would be counted differently because of how different they are.

I don't know if there any Asian (Japanese, Korean, Chinese, etc.) municipalities.
