An estimated 55,000 people in the United States identified as Uzbek in 2023, according to estimates published by the U.S. Census Bureau.[1. This population estimate is based on U.S. Census Bureau tabulations of the 2023 American Community Survey and includes people who identify as Uzbek alone or in combination with any other race, ethnicity or origin.] Uzbek Americans are the 18th-largest Asian origin population living in the U.S., accounting for approximately 0.2% of the country\u2019s Asian population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Uzbek population includes people living in the United States who self-identify as Uzbek. This includes people who trace their or their family\u2019s origins to Uzbekistan, including immigrants from Uzbekistan and those born in the U.S. or elsewhere. It also includes people who identify as Uzbek alone and no other race or Asian origin \u2013 who account for 47% of the population \u2013 as well as people who identify as Uzbek in combination with any other race, ethnicity or Asian origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to data limitations, the following facts about the Uzbek population are based on people who identify as Uzbek alone <\/strong>and no other race or Asian origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fact sheet is a profile of the geographic, social and demographic, and economic characteristics of the Uzbek-alone population in the U.S. It at times compares the characteristics of Uzbek Americans with characteristics of the U.S. Asian population overall. These detailed tabulations are based on Pew Research Center analysis of the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS). (For more information, refer to the methodology<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Population<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

About 25,000 people in the U.S. identify as Uzbek alone and no other race or Asian origin, according to Center analysis of the 2023 ACS.\u00a0This is the first year that Uzbek respondents were identified separately from other Asian origin groups in the IPUMS ACS data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Immigrants made up 63% of the Uzbek-alone population in the U.S. in 2023, or 17,000 people. By comparison, 54% of the overall U.S. Asian population were immigrants in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n
