The Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi American (APIDA) Community has a long history in Tucson that stretches back to the late 1800s. By 1908, Chinese immigrants had grown from living primarily in Old Chinatown to 37 Chinese businesses operating south of Congress and families living in Tucson neighborhoods with White and Hispanic families. Over time, the APIDA Community established houses of worship, community gathering spaces, culturally focused schools, restaurants, and groceries.
Today the APIDA Community in Tucson is growing rapidly. Between the 2000 and 2010 census, the APIDA population in Arizona increased by 91.6% for Asians and 87.9% for Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Of the 38,489 APIDA residents in Pima County, 59% (22,528 people as of 2010) live in Tucson. The Asian and Desi parts of the APIDA Community here are primarily Chinese, Filipino, Vietnamese, South Asian Indian, and Korean, The Pacific Islander part of the APIDA community here is primarily Native Hawaiian, Guamanian or Chamorro, and Samoan.
This website aims to offer resources on campus and in Tucson for the APIDA Community and to share APIDA related businesses to consider frequenting for the non-APIDA identifying community. If you'd like to suggest a resource or business for this website, please submit a suggestion here.
