This statistic shows the change in the United States' Japanese population from 1980 to 2010. In 1980, there were 720,000 Japanese-Americans (Japanese immigrants and people with Japanese heritage) living in the United States.

As of October 2024, approximately ******* Japanese residents were living in the United States. The figure has shown a slight declining trend since 2018, when it reached the decade high of around *******.

This statistic shows the change in the number of foreign born Japanese-Americans living in the United States from 1980 to 2010. In 2010, there were approximately 1,140,000 foreign born Japanese-Americans living in the United States.

As of October 2024, approximately 63,500 Japanese residents lived in Los Angeles, continuing the downward trend. Los Angeles had the largest Japanese population of any city outside Japan. In the same year, the United States was by far the country with the highest number of Japanese residents.

CyArk was awarded a grant by the National Park Service's Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program to create 3D digital recreations of sites associated with the US government's World War II incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans who lived along the West Coast. Tule Lake is one of three sites of Japanese American incarceration that CyArk documented in 2011. The few structures that remain at the sites serve as reminders of democracy's fragility in times of conflict. To further illuminate this history, CyArk used laser scanning and photogrammetry to document the site's buildings and topographical features, processing the data in combination with historical records to create a 3D digital reconstruction of what the site was like during World War II. CyArk's digital reconstruction of Tule Lake provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with this difficult history and ensure that it is never forgotten. Tule Lake is one of ten World War II camps where the US government confined Japanese Americans, the majority of whom were US citizens. Of the ten camps, Tule Lake's legacy remains particularly controversial. In 1943 the US government turned the Tule Lake camp into a "Segregation Center" where they incarcerated Japanese Americans who they deemed "disloyal" based on an ill-conceived questionnaire. People incarcerated at the Tule Lake Segregation Center ended up there for a variety of complex reasons, many having nothing to do with their loyalty to the United States. Commenting on the questionnaire answers that landed people in the "Segregation Center," a government official stated, "We can recognize that the answers wrung from them under the strains and perplexities with which they were faced is no more an indication of disloyalty than medieval trials by torture were an evidence of witchcraft."

As of October 2024, Los Angeles had the highest number of Japanese residents among cities outside Japan, with approximately ****** residents. In the same year, the United States remained by far the country with the largest Japanese population outside Japan.

Research from the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) demonstrated that, for the same quantity of cigarette smoking, African Americans and Native Hawaiians have a higher lung cancer risk than Whites, while Latinos and Japanese Americans are less susceptible. We collected urine samples from 2,239 cigarette smokers from five different ethnic groups in the MEC and analyzed each sample for S-phenylmercapturic acid (SPMA), a specific biomarker of benzene uptake. African Americans had significantly higher (geometric mean [SE] 3.69 [0.2], p

Manzanar is one of ten World War II camps associated with the US government's incarceration of over 120,000 Japanese Americans forcibly removed from the West Coast in the name of national security. The few structures that remain at the site serve as reminders of democracy's fragility in times of conflict. To further illuminate this history, CyArk worked with the National Park Service to create an accurate 3D digital reconstruction of the World War II camp. CyArk used laser scanning and photogrammetry to document the site's buildings and topographical features including the historic cemetery monument and excavated rock gardens. They processed the data in combination with historical records to digitally reconstruct what the camp would have looked like during World War II. The reconstruction provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with this difficult history and ensure that it is never forgotten. During World War II, a barbed wire fence and eight guard towers enclosed Manzanar's one-square-mile living space that at its peak confined just over 11,000 people. Many recall with fear how spotlights from the guard towers would shine in their barrack windows during the night. While the construction of the camp reflects how Japanese Americans were stripped of their basic rights and freedoms, the features on the landscape today also show how people created a diverse community and remained resilient in the face of hardship. A woman's statement recorded during World War II reveals the complexities people faced suddenly being incarcerated with thousands of strangers. "I often sit and wonder how I ever came to be in a camp full of Japanese, aliens and citizens alike, with nothing much in common between them and myself except the color of our skins. What had I, or...the rest of them done, to be thrown in camp?...I suppose the only answer is, the accident of my birth-my ancestry."The diversity of people confined at Manzanar can be seen in the landscape. Remnants of one of many baseball diamonds echo days where hundreds of people would gather to cheer on their favorite Manzanar team. While the landscape reveals pieces of its layered past, the site and its history remain an important lens for visitors in understanding the world today.

Partial Correlations Among SPMA and Other Biomarkers

In these two surveys, American and Japanese respondents were asked similar sets of questions. Their opinions were sought on which country would be the number one economic power in the world in the next century, whether Japan or the United States tended to protect its own interests without regard to the needs of other countries, the main reason that more United States goods were not sold in Japan, whether the Japanese or American governments had made enough of an effort to correct the trade imbalance, and how respondents felt about Japanese companies buying office buildings and land in the United States. Respondents were also questioned about whether Americans and Japanese respected each other, whether the United States and Japan could depend on each other in the future, whether the number of United States troops in Japan should be increased, decreased, or kept at the same level, and whether the Cold War was over. In addition, American respondents only were asked about George Bush's handling of his job, foreign policy, the economy of the United States, feelings toward Israel and the Arab nations, and Ralph Nader's attacks on American industry. Both surveys collected demographic and socioeconomic information on respondents, including income, age, sex, and education.

In the spring of 2015, CyArk partnered with Mid-Pacific High School to train students on digital documentation techniques. Together CyArk and Mid-Pacific students documented the former Honouliuli camp, where Japanese Americans were confined by the US government during World War II. Students documented the site using LiDAR and photogrammetry. CyArk processed the data, and the students conducted research about the site to make infographics and videos about the site????????s history and their experiences being part of the project. The project was made possible by a Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant established by congress in 2006 'To provide for the preservation of the historic confinement sites where Japanese Americans were detained during World War II...in order that present and future generations may learn and gain inspiration from these sites.' In February 2015, Hawaiian- President Barack Obama designated Honouliuli at a unit of the National Park Service. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, then President Franklin Deleno Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which allowed the military to forcibly remove and confine over 120,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast and Hawaii. Honouliuli Internment camp was the largest and and longest-used site of confinement on the Hawaiian Islands where both US citizens and residents of Japanese ancestry as well as people of European ancestry were confined for the duration of the war. The camp was also used for prisoners of war, confining enemy soldiers from Japan, Korea, Okinawa, Taiwan, and Italy. External Project Link: \N Additional Info Link:

As of October 2024, approximately 20,300 Japanese residents were registered in the San Francisco metropolitan area. In the same year, the United States was the country with the highest number of Japanese residents by far.

Topaz is one of ten World War II camps where the US government confined Japanese Americans forcibly removed from the West Coast in the name of national security. The few structures that remain at the site serve as reminders of democracy's fragility in times of conflict. To further illuminate this history, CyArk collaborated with the National Park Service and the Topaz Museum Board of Directors to create an accurate 3D digital reconstruction of the World War II camp. CyArk used laser scanning and photogrammetry to document the site's buildings and topographical features, processing the data in combination with historical records. The digital reconstruction of Topaz provides a unique opportunity for people to connect with this difficult history and ensure that it is never forgotten Helen Horano Christ was nine years old when her family arrived at Topaz after being forced to leave their home in California. "When we got off the bus...a dust storm had come up. First thing we faced in Topaz was the dust. We had to make our way to our barracks, which weren't quite finished yet. In fact, we were told that the windows had just been put in that morning, and I stuck my finger in the putty, and it was still soft. I managed to leave my mark, didn't I?" The harsh landscape heavily impacted the lives of Japanese Americans confined in the camp, just as Japanese Americans' mark on the area is visible at the site today. From 1942 to 1945, just over 11,000 people were confined at Topaz. A 4-foot high barbed wire fence surrounded their one-square-mile living area. While people experienced a constant lack of privacy in the camp, many Japanese Americans found ways to make the best of their circumstances through cultivating community organizations and transforming the dusty landscape with sports fields and Japanese style gardens. The site remains an important place of remembrance for Japanese American communities and a testament to people's resiliency in the face of hardship.

BackgroundCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of death worldwide. Previous studies have identified numerous common CHD susceptibility loci, with the vast majority identified in populations of European ancestry. How well these findings transfer to other racial/ethnic populations remains unclear.Methods and ResultsWe examined the generalizability of the associations with 71 known CHD loci in African American, Latino and Japanese men and women in the Multiethnic Cohort (6,035 cases and 11,251 controls). In the combined multiethnic sample, 78% of the loci demonstrated odds ratios that were directionally consistent with those previously reported (p = 2 × 10−6), with this fraction ranging from 59% in Japanese to 70% in Latinos. The number of nominally significant associations across all susceptibility regions ranged from only 1 in Japanese to 11 in African Americans with the most statistically significant association observed through locus fine-mapping noted for rs3832016 (OR = 1.16, p = 2.5×10−5) in the SORT1 region on chromosome 1p13. Lastly, we examined the cumulative predictive effect of CHD SNPs across populations with improved power by creating genetic risk scores (GRSs) that summarize an individual’s aggregated exposure to risk variants. We found the GRSs to be significantly associated with risk in African Americans (OR = 1.03 per allele; p = 4.1×10−5) and Latinos (OR = 1.03; p = 2.2 × 10−8), but not in Japanese (OR = 1.01; p = 0.11).ConclusionsWhile a sizable fraction of the known CHD loci appear to generalize in these populations, larger fine-mapping studies will be needed to localize the functional alleles and better define their contribution to CHD risk in these populations.

Although the American Community Survey (ACS) produces population, demographic and housing unit estimates, it is the Census Bureau's Population Estimates Program that produces and disseminates the official estimates of the population for the nation, states, counties, cities, and towns and estimates of housing units for states and counties..Supporting documentation on code lists, subject definitions, data accuracy, and statistical testing can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Technical Documentation section.Sample size and data quality measures (including coverage rates, allocation rates, and response rates) can be found on the American Community Survey website in the Methodology section..Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2019 American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates.Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate arising from sampling variability is represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted roughly as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACS estimates are subject to nonsampling error (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see ACS Technical Documentation). The effect of nonsampling error is not represented in these tables..Total includes people who reported Asian only, regardless of whether they reported one or more detailed Asian groups.Other Asian, specified. Includes respondents who provide a response of another Asian group not shown separately, such as Iwo Jiman, Maldivian, or Singaporean.Other Asian, not specified. Includes respondents who checked the "Other Asian" response category on the ACS questionnaire and did not write in a specific group or wrote in a generic term such as "Asian," or "Asiatic." Two or more Asian. Includes respondents who provided multiple Asian responses such as Asian Indian and Japanese; or Vietnamese, Chinese and Hmong..The 2019 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reflect the September 2018 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) delineations of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. In certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of the principal cities shown in ACS tables may differ from the OMB delineations due to differences in the effective dates of the geographic entities..Estimates of urban and rural populations, housing units, and characteristics reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2010 data. As a result, data for urban and rural areas from the ACS do not necessarily reflect the results of ongoing urbanization..Explanation of Symbols:An "**" entry in the margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute a standard error and thus the margin of error. A statistical test is not appropriate.An "-" entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of the median estimates falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution, or the margin of error associated with a median was larger than the median itself.An "-" following a median estimate means the median falls in the lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.An "+" following a median estimate means the median falls in the upper interval of an open-ended distribution.An "***" entry in the margin of error column indicates that the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended distribution. A statistical test is not appropriate.An "*****" entry in the margin of error column indicates that the estimate is controlled. A statistical test for sampling variability is not appropriate. An "N" entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates that data for this geographic area cannot be displayed because the number of sample cases is too small.An "(X)" means that the estimate is not applicable or not available.
