ResumoFILIPINOS constitute one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States.1 In the 1970 census, approximately 343,000 people identified themselves as Filipinos.2 Since then more immigrants have come to the United States each year from the Philippines than from any other country except Mexico.3 If present immigration trends continue, by 1980 there will be approximately as many Filipinos in the United States as there are Chinese or Japanese. Thus an analysis of Filipino immigration, settlement, and ethnicity will contribute to our understanding of the geography of American society.4
