  1. Where do the Asians live, what area? Eight Arkansas counties — Benton, Craighead, Crawford, Faulkner, Pulaski, Saline, Sebastian and Washington — had at least 1,000 Asian residents in 2010, compared with only four — Benton, Pulaski, Sebastian and Washington — in 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau 2010 census. Among the counties with at least 1,000, Benton County had the most growth, a 269 percent increase in its Asian population; it grew from 2,012 in 2000 to 7,428 residents in 2010. The 2014 estimates show that it has continued to grow. So to answer the question, they live mostly in Benton County.
  2. Whats the average income of the Asians/American Indians? It is difficult to find the average income of these races, but as of 2015, 16.9 percent for Asian-Americans and 15.7 percent for Native Americans were below the poverty rate in Arkansas, according to the Center of American Progress. This can be compared to the overall percentage of 18.9 percent. Here is a good article for a national perspective on Asian-Americans: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=185534666 .
