For years, Quincy has been home to the state's largest Asian-American community outside Boston. Now it's getting some competition from towns such as Lexington, where Asian Americans account for a third of the population, according to the most recent US Census data. Overall, the number of Asian-American residents in Massachusetts grew from 347,495 to 504,900 since 2010, according to the 2020 census. And while Quincy's Asian population is still much larger than Lexington's — 31,282 compared to 11,416 — the data point to a shift in where the state's AAPI residents are choosing to settle.
