The Asian Population in Irvine in Percentage wise Peaked at 45.6% and then stayed stagnant for the last 15 years. Why?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
They built a lot more apartments with a certain percentage low income units. Could also be that foreign born buyers in new housing developments don’t fill out the census, not that I trust anything put out by the census since 2020.AC529B79-8C4A-4D70-A361-8B058CC8B6D4.jpeg
 
My theories:

1. test started eating them
2. They started listening to Liar Loan and stopped buying... and regretted it.
3. They were afraid of the IHO view lot
4. morekaos TI political posts made them move out of California
5. ... to Jonh's Creek because of Panda.
6. Too many homes that are Asian owned but vacant with zero birth rate is bringing down the percent even while they purchase more homes in Irvine.
 
The reason I started this thread is because I wonder if when the Asian population hit a certain critical mass in % basis, it starts to plateu. Irvine's Asian demographic in terms of % didn't change for 15 years from 2010 - 2025
I think it has more to do with cost of buying property. Asians are more likely to move to a place where they can buy then to pay 50% of their income renting. Asians are still the fastest growing demographic in surrounding areas.
Geographical diversity is used for UC admissions. I doubt there will ever be 25% white again unless they bring back affirmative action. There just aren’t enough white students spread around the state. They are concentrated in certain districts.
 
"Two or more races" is a fast growing category which includes a lot of kids with one Asian parent, but they don't get counted as Asian in these surveys.
