The "State of Asian and Pacific Islanders in San Francisco" report offers an in-depth exploration into the sociocultural and economic landscapes surrounding one of the largest Asian and Pacific Islander (API) communities in the United States. San Francisco stands on the forefront, both demographically and culturally, with APIs comprising a significant and growing portion of the city's population. Using data from the 2010 and 2020 decennial Census and other sources, the report offers a nuanced breakdown of demographic trends, socioeconomic struggles, and the multifaceted community life that defines the API population of San Francisco. The analysis uses estimates from the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS).

Findings:

• The API population grew from 35.8% to 37.5% of San Francisco's population.
• Physical and mental health disparities are a concern.
• API residents feel a loss of cultural identity due to gentrification.
• API organizations which support the community often face insufficient support and recognition from wider institutional frameworks.
• In all the above areas, the need for more granular and nuanced data is a recurring theme. Such data are vital for effective policy making and designing programs that accurately address the specific needs of the diverse API population groups.
