“If you can’t measure it, you can’t improve it” is the foundational maxim of efficiency engineering. For civic
empowerment, too, an accurate measure of the population and electorate serves as a crucial baseline. Yet, no
factual, empirical, or objective research has ever been completed for the Korean American community. Such a data
set has been published for the AAPI community at large, but a more detailed look could only rely on anecdotal
estimation and unsubstantiated information.
It is why the Korean American Grassroots Conference, the largest nationwide network of Korean American voters, is
proud to publish its statistical analysis of the Korean American electorate.
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, this report preview presents such figures as Korean American
population, Korean American voting-eligible population, and registered Korean American voters in select states and
its subdivisions.
The full report, to be published in the weeks following the 2019 KAGC National Conference, will include a more
comprehensive analysis on each county and congressional district across the United States. Stay tuned for a first
look at the report.
