Why isn't the Indonesian-American population larger?

I would have expected there to be more Indonesian-Australians, but apparently the number is about the same as Indonesian-Americans (though of course much larger in proportion to the total population of Australia).

This Wiki page suggests there are twice as many Indonesian Americans as Indonesian Australians. The US has 12-13 times the population of Australia, so Australia is 6x more Indonesian overall.

Wow, looks like Indonesian-American population has nearly tripled since 2010 then?

This looks like a fake wikipedia number. The source is something written in 2006...

I dunno that's weird, it links to an article about the computer industry in Asia?

This happens sometimes, which is why you can't just take Wikipedia's word for it, and you have to check the source.
