From time to time I get requests for community data, stats and figures on the Lao community.
One of the best go-to resources is the SEARAC Statisical Profile from the 2010 Census and American Community Survey especially when compared to the one for 2000 . Technically you should cite the Census 2010 for the data, linking to it is a bit of a pain because of the long URLs.
Dr. Mark Pfeiffer has one of my favorite lists of the Laotian commuity populations drawn from the Census 2010 figures over but I’m reproducing it here in the event the site ever goes offline in order to ensure a certain continuity of data availability.
Please note that there are always certain questions of methodology. To my knowledge these statistics take into account those who have self-identified as Lao, but does not include those who identify as other or exclude those who some might think should not identify as Lao for one reason or another. There are also consistent concerns from advocates for the Lao community that many regions have been undercounted, but that’s beyond the scope of this note. Consider this an introduction, rather than the last word on the issue.
