Based on the information made public by the U.S. Census Bureau and lists of registered voters provided by the Boards of Elections of three-dozen states in October 2018, this report presents such figures as Korean American population, Korean American voting-eligible population, and registered Korean American voters in select states and its subdivisions. This statistical analysis was conducted with a proprietary algorithm developed by the Korean American Grassroots Conference. If you cite any of the information on this report, please inform KAGC of the use and cite the source as the Korean American Grassroots Conference.

This is the first factual, empirical, or objective research ever been completed for the Korean American community. Such a data set had been published for the AAPI community at large, but a more detailed look could only rely on anecdotal estimation and unsubstantiated information.
