ABOUT THIS REPORT
The State of the Hmong American Community report is
a compilation of work from scholars that analyze the
current state of Hmong Americans across the United
States. It is based upon 2010 Census data, the American
Community Survey, and academic literature reviews.
Each piece assesses trends in six issue areas, including
population growth and demographics, socioeconomics,
education, household, health disparities and mental
health.
These specific authors were invited to contribute to
the report given their expertise in Hmong American
studies, as well as within their respective disciplines.
The diversity of disciplines, authors, and regions
represented is a strength of this report, allowing for
multiple voices to be heard. That being said, Hmong
National Development (HND) would like to make it clear
that the content or language in the articles does not
explicitly represent the views of HND. Yet as a collective,
they tell a broader story of how the Hmong American
community has progressed since the last Census in
2000. We believe this information must be shared with
community members, educators, policy makers, and
others serving the Hmong American community.
If you have feedback or questions regarding any of the
content within the articles, please follow up directly
with the first author of the article. Contact information
