I took a look at the data for Asian American and Filipino education level. Something that I noticed is the number of Filipino citizen with Bachelor degree or higher is lower than Asian Americans by 4.8%. This seems like this difference is a small number but if you gauge how many people this statistic is covering it comes out to a much larger number. This difference could be a byproduct of the model minority which raise the expectation for how well Asian Americans need to perform. In contrast I found it super interesting how the number of people who has education level less than a high school degree is higher for Asian Americans than Filipinos. I wonder if this can be attributed to Asian American student who felt ostracized because they did not meet standards and as a result gave up on trying in school. It also could be because teachers did not reach out for feel the need to help Asian American students.

I am comparing Filipinos and the U.S. total in terms of Education Income and poverty. I found that Filipinos have achieved more education than the U.S. total. For example, I learned that Filipinos have a lower percentage of people who have less than a high school degree and have a higher percentage of people with a bachelor's degree or higher which shows that Filipinos for the most part have a higher percentage of people with education. Yet, for poverty, it seems as if there are similar results for Filipinos and the U.S. total. For instance, although Filipinos have a lower percentage of seniors and children in poverty, they have less overall shared poverty compared to the U.S. total. Based on what I know I think that schools should implement resources for all schools especially in the U.S. such as tutoring services and more advanced classes. I also think that specifically for Filipinos, there should be more resources available that will keep people pursuing an education higher than high school since they have a low percentage.

We are comparing Koreans, Asian Americans, and the US total for education earnings. The overall rate of earning a Bachelor's degree amongst Koreans is greater than the overall rate amongst the US total. This is interesting because in the high school percentages, the data was the opposite. We think this difference is due to less support from predominantly White instructor perspectives. One way educational researchers may address this disparity is by hiring more educators with diverse backgrounds.

We found that although the educational diplomas obtained by the Chinese population percentage are almost the same as those of Asian Americans and much higher than the overall U.S. average percentage, the overall percentage data of Chinese people living in poverty is higher than that of Asian Americans and the U.S. total. Among them, the numerical percentage of the Chinese elderly and children in poverty is much higher than the other two ethnic groups we compared. With the model minority myth, Chinese students might feel under pressure with the high expectations in education by their parents. Therefore, teachers must provide support for Chinese students when needed. They might feel more supported when talking to counselors who share similar cultural backgrounds and experiences. This type of familiarity can provide a sense of safety and trust within the connections between students and their counselors.

The groups we decided to compared are Asians, Filipino and Japanese. This data shows how Asian Americans have a higher rate in education and poverty. It was interesting to see how Filipino and Japanese poverty rate among seniors and children is relatively low compared to Asians. The gap among these groups aren't big but this does show how Asian Americans are more likely to have higher education.

Looking at health insurance, it was interesting how they only included two categories: no insurance and private health insurance. And in private health, only 4% of Asian Americans reported having private health insurance.

We chose to compare Asian Indian and Vietnamese populations. One particularly standout fact that we noticed was that Asian Indians have much higher rates of having Bachelor's degrees or higher, as they had about 75%, compared to about 30%. This is especially interesting given the next stat that I looked into, which was share of home owners. Even though Asian Indians had higher rates of having higher education, Vietnamese people have a higher share of home owners, by about ten percent.

Its the context of population, education, and home ownership:

It iss evident that the US has a large population of about 330 million people with Asians making up about 23 million and Cambodians less with nearly 300 thousand. Education rates follow with asians having above nearly 50% with a bachelors degree or higher, Cambodians at 18% and US total at 31.5%, with that said the home ownerhsip rates all account for above 50% meaning that although these racial/ethnic groups may not take up a huge amount of population, much of them adjust and have access to shelter but also face a great amount of poverty more than Asian Americans which can be due to stereotypes . - Hayley Escobar

We decided to look into the income & poverty along side the health insurance of Asian Americans, the U.S and Japanese individuals. We noticed that the percentage of Japanese individuals was higher for health insurance compared to Asian Americans and the U.S total average. We believe that this was because they had a lower percentage of poverty rates meaning that they could mostly likely afford better health insurance compared to those who were more likely to have less resources. Regarding helping those in poverty, schools can provide toiletries, food, clothes and other necessities for those who need it.

Education Levels between Filipinos and Chinese in the U.S. 

# data[].attributes.body
The data demonstrated that there were great achievement gaps between Filipinos and Chinese for education less than a high school degree. Then the education levels between Filipinos and Chinese completing high school were relatively similar with Filipinos having higher rates. The differences are greater when it comes to bachelor's degrees or higher, with Chinese having higher levels of attainment. I think this could be because Chinese immigrants and Americans may feel more pressure to fulfill the model minority myth and thus seek to attend college at higher rates than other groups of Asians like Filipinos that have historically been more integrated into the U.S.

Based off the data, I found that Japanese and Filipinos are more likely to attain a higher education than the average US population. The rate of Japanese and Filipinos citizens is also lower in relation to poverty than the US population. However, the share of children in poverty is higher than that of the US. This means Japanese and Filipino children are more likely to face poverty than that of US children.

The most interesting fact I found in the data is the percentage of Japanese and Filipinos that speak a language other than English at home. The rate is more than double that of the US population. In addition, the percentage of limited English proficiency is also much higher in Japanese and Filipinos than that of Americans.

Taking this into account, I think schools can invest more into their English language programs. It is important to consider these factors and be patient with students learning more than one language. By taking more time and effort into dual language programs, we can better equip students in regards to their English language skills.

I decided to compare education and poverty rates amongst Asian Americans, Burmese and the US total. I was surprised to see that different gaps amongst the three, and was shocked to see that the Burmese poverty gap is double the US total. This is imporatnt because it shows that ethnicity should be considered more than race overall because different ethnicities experience inequities differently. Thus, I would suggest policymakers consider what ethnic groups need the most support and ensure they have the proper resources. So rather than ignoring an ethnic group because of racist stereotypes, they should consider how different each ethnic group is. - Selene Hernandez

I compared these three and in the data streams of education, income and poverty, language and homeownership. This matters because Asian Americans were the higher percent in education level, getting a bachelors degree or higher. However, they had the lower percent in homeownership. Another thing that stood out to me was the percent of most common language spoken at home because Asian Americans have a limited english proficiency. This could be because they have to communicate with their parents and family, the US has many other languages people speak including Spanish and they had a lower percent in the limited english proficiency by a lot being 8.5 and Asian Americans 33.2.

I found the percentages and finding very interesting because even though Koreans An A.A have high education rate they still have low income based on this information its evident that school polices needs to provide more community resources. This matters because even though they are achieving a bachelors degree they still are poor and living in poverty.

We found for Asian Americans there was a greater than 30% jump in Asian Americans receiving a bachelors degree than Cambodians or Samoans. Additionally, Cambodians/Samoans face greater poverty levels than Asian Americans so Asian Americans may get more opportunities within education. Schools can challenge stereotypes against Asians in general and promote individuality and inclusivity to promote equity and opportunity for those not born into circumstantial privilege.

We can only assume that data was not collected, or they were not thought of as important enough, which is already speaking of the lack of consideration for Asian-Americans. Due to them not being considered previously, the current data we have on the Nepalese community can be unreliable.

We decided to look at Education , SES, and political participation between Chinese, Pakistani, and Taiwanese populations. We recognize a large gap of education between Taiwanese and other groups at 77.7%. However, all three groups share similar rates of poverty. At a school perspective, we can see how students might need extra support for post-grad. Maybe there is trouble finding jobs with one's degree, or another issue may be present. Regardless, administrators should recognize that these students might need help too, and not dismiss them based on their race. Additionally, we saw there was no data for political participation within the Taiwanese population and that raises questions to whether or not all groups are being represented in surveys, or if they are being lumped together with 'Asian' in general.

Our group decided to compare the U.S. total to Asian-Americans, as well as Samoan-Americans since we feel like statistics barely illuminate Pacific Islanders. An interesting observation we discovered is that the percentage of Asian-Americans with a high school degree is lower than the U.S. total, but the percentage with a bachelor's degree is higher than the U.S. total. This is flip-flopped for Samoans, who have a higher percentage of people who graduated with a high school degree than the U.S. total but a lower percentage of bachelor's degree. In terms of poverty levels, poverty for Samoans is higher than Asian-Americans and the U.S. total. Overall, we feel like this is data about Pacific Islanders that is generally dismissed within education. Therefore, school policies need to do a more adequate job of including more underrepresented groups within the development of policies and provide them with more resources.

Something else that I found interesting is that for the U.S. to be such a melting pot when it comes to language, of the U.S. total 21.5 of people speak a language other than English, versus people from Bangladesh have a percentage of 91.5 who speak a language other than English

In our group, we considered the shocking variability between education among Native Hawaiians and Asian Americans as a whole. The percentage of Asian Americans that have a bachelor's degree or higher is 53.5%, however only 19% of Native Hawaiians have a bachelor's degree. This can be extremely deceptive when taking research upon the academic success of Asian Americans, and reduces the awareness of resources needed for Hawaiian students to succeed in higher education.

I compared Asian Americans and more specifically Koreans with the U.S. total in education and income & poverty. For education, both the Asian American and Korean percentages were significantly higher than the U.S. total for receiving a Bachelor's degree or higher, which would lead people to imply that their employment and income are high and poverty rates low. However, when comparing the income and poverty of these three groups, the share in poverty overall for Asian Americans and Koreans are very closely trailing behind that of the U.S. total. Then, especially noticeably for Koreans, the share in poverty for seniors and children is more than double that of the U.S. total.

This shows how the assumption that Asians are always successful does not hold up. It also highlights how the disconnect between pursuing a higher education and income among Asian Americans should be studied further.

I noticed Filipinos were the one who most spoke English at there home, held the least percentage of poverty and had the least percentage of having less than a high school degree.

It was shocking to see the significantly higher poverty rates among Chinese when compared to Japanese and the general U.S. population.

Where people may assume all Asian-American students have similar income experiences. When the reality is that different ethnic groups may experience greater financial struggles which may affect their motivation/abilities to do well in school.

In Tongan families, they have higher children and family rate, because they typically have more children. Therefore, this explains the subtle but present difference in income & poverty between the two groups. The difference in cultural norms and values would also explain the difference of education levels between the two groups as the Tongan culture is more geared towards going into the workforce early, and Chinese culture emphasizes education which often leads to Chinese individuals having higher rates in all three education categories.

Between Cambodian, Filipino, & Koreans, they mostly identify as Democratic and are all close to being registered voters with ~80% of them voting. Interesting how Koreans have a higher % without health insurance when Cambodian's are supposed to have lower education. Koreans are also lower in home ownership but this can be due to families all living within one household. Filipino poverty rates are really low compared to both Cambodian's and Koreans which show a tendency to maintain their jobs as Filipino's are more likely to also be US residents versus Korean and Cambodians.

Pakistani group has a higher level of education compared to Hawaiian and Samoan groups. Pakistani also has a higher rate of homeownership, with Hawaiian following close behind. As for poverty and income levels, all 3 groups are similar to each other and within the range of 15-18%. Native Hawaiian has a similar poverty rate to Pakistani, but has a much higher rate of homeownership compared to Samoan group. Schools can add additional support systems and acknowledge the different backgrounds for these students. It would be good if schools implemented financial literacy classes because the rate of poverty is quite high, indicating that there is bad stability in households, and could also explain the low homeownership rates.

In terms of homeownership, Samoans were much less likely to own a home. This suggests that it's likely they are living in shared spaces with many people, which can ultimately impact their educational achievement. Also this can suggest housing insecurity which could be connected to food insecurity and many other challenges, which all ultimately affect academic performance.

In general, it's important to make these distinctions as Samoan experiences differ greatly in share of seniors in poverty, for example, from the bigger group of Pacific Islanders, compared to the biggest group of Asian Americans. Making these distinctions help target efforts where they're most needed.

This affects school policies and educational researchers by emphasizing the different experiences within Asian communities and how they can affect their predispositions for academic performance.

According to the statistical findings, Filipinos are half as likely to get a bachelor's degree or higher compared to Taiwanese but still outrun the US total by 10%. All three of these groups are in the lower spectrum of poverty and all three demonstrate a high percentage of having private health insurance. I think this does a great job of demonstrating that not all Asian groups are the same and have different circumstances. In this case, education was the largest difference which exhibits how despite the stigma of Asian Americans being very smart and needing little attention in school, some may need more help than others but due to this stigma, they are often neglected. Therefore, schools and education systems need to change their perspectives and give the same amount of attention to all students and not neglect others because of stigmas or beliefs they have about a certain ethnic group.

We decide who choose Chinese, U.S.and Asian American to compare. We mainly focused on Education and Income. Understanding these differences can influence school policies and educational research in several ways: Educational researchers might investigate the causes of lower high school completion rates among Chinese Americans and develop targeted interventions to support students at risk of not completing high school. The high poverty rate among Chinese American seniors could prompt researchers and policymakers to consider how this impacts the support structures for children’s education within these communities, as financial hardship could affect the resources available for children’s academic needs. School policies may need to be adjusted to ensure equitable resource allocation that recognizes the higher educational attainment of Asian American students, while also addressing the needs of those who are at risk of or experiencing poverty. Given the cultural diversity within the Asian American category, policies might be adjusted to be more culturally sensitive and responsive, acknowledging that community support structures and challenges can vary widely. The data suggests a need for a multigenerational approach to education policy, recognizing the link between children's educational outcomes and the economic stability of their households, including their elderly family members.

I compared the data between Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean. When I was reviewing the total population, population growth, income and poverty, and homeownership, I noticed Vietnamese had an overall higher percentage. Their lowest was actually education, with a score consistently in the 20s compared to 50% of Japanese and Korean people having a Bachelor's degree. We talked about how teachers might not pay attention to Asian-American students because they falsely believe they don't need help. For that, it would be beneficial to enact policies that encourage educators to offer help to everyone rather than restricting it for students they think need "more" help. Certain students shouldn't be neglected when they go to school for the same reason as everyone else: to learn.

When comparing the education and poverty levels of the U.S. vs. Asian Americans vs. Hmong Americans it is evident that more Asian Americans overall have completed a bachelor's degree or higher compared to the U.S. overall. However, when looking at Hmong Americans, it can be seen way less of their population achieve a bachelor's degree or higher and are more likely to be in poverty than the U.S. overall and Asian Americans. While it may seem that all Asian Americans are successful and high achieving, this notion often ignores the struggles of specific Asian ethnicities that are pushed under the umbrella of Asian American.

Within three parameters I was looking at between these categories (Income and Poverty, Education, and Top States), both Education and Top States had relatively similar statistics, even in overall poverty rates between all categories. However, I found a large discrepancy in share of seniors in poverty and share of children in poverty. The Vietnamese population had 16% more poverty in their seniors and around 11-13% more poverty in their children compared to overall U.S. population and the Asian-American population. I might attribute this significant difference by historical migrations during the Vietnam War. I know for my grandparents who immigrated during this time after the fall of South Vietnam who fall in this senior category. As immigrants, they had started off at a socioeconomic disadvantage starting essentially an entire new life for themselves in a new country, and I can imagine that in the present, many Vietnamese immigrants still struggle to make ends meet because of this historical migration factor.

One of the ways in which school policies or educational researchers can adjust their perspectives and policies would be to get rid of the model minority myth ideology in their head.

However, as found in the data, it is obvious that the different ethnicities under the Asian racial umbrella have different living circumstances.

I found it interesting how the percentage of higher education among Filipino people was higher than the US total. This may be because of cultural pressures to continue your education or easy accessibility. I also noticed how the percentage of those with private health insurance was much higher than the US total. I could infer that this is because of the high rate of Filipino people working in healthcare, so it is much easier to get accessible healthcare compared to the average American. Schools can adjust their perspectives and policies by ensuring that they are equitable among Asian American students of all ethnicities, educational backgrounds, etc. ---Kaila Palisoc

This shows that although Asian Americans are more likely to have individuals pursuing higher education compared to the U.S. total, Cambodian Americans statistically earn fewer Bachelor's degrees and have higher poverty rates compared to the U.S. total and Asian Americans overall. Likewise, educational institutions should give academic assistance to Asian students instead of contributing to the model minority myth and assuming that all Asian students will excel academically without help.

I decided to compare the income and poverty rates between Asian Indians and Pakistanis as these 2 countries border each other and are often confused for one another as they both fall under the Indian subcontinent and labeled as South Asian.

This really struck me as while Indians fell under the overall share of poverty percentage, they were above the share of seniors and children in poverty. I can somewhat interpret this as being South Asian myself, there is a culture of having multiple generations within a household, having grandparents in the same house as their grandchildren would explain the high rates of seniors in poverty among both Indians and Pakistanis.

Commenting on the rates of Pakistani poverty, it took me by surprise as I knew there was a disparity in the wealth gap, but not to that degree especially considering the 1965 immigration laws that passed encouraging educated Asians to immigrate to the US.

With high poverty rates among Chinese and Korean seniors and children, schools might need to integrate more comprehensive support systems for these students.

We found amongst Asian, Filipino, Japanese that they all have high percentages in getting an education of Bachelor's Degree or Higher, and at the same time low rates of poverty overall. However, in comparing these three groups, those who received more education, were more likely to have higher poverty rates. For example, Asian Indians had the highest percentage of an educated population but also the highest of all three in rates of poverty. We also noticed that the Filipino population, though they have the lowest poverty rate and lowest education rate, they have the highest share of seniors in poverty. We concluded between these groups once you achieve a high education you're more likely to have higher rates of poverty overall, but at the same time, if you don't achieve a high rate of education, you may end up in poverty later down the road.

I decided to compare Korean and Vietnamese and their education, income, and homeownership. From observing the data Koreans are more educated as in they have higher percentage of attaining degrees than Vietnamese people. When comparing income and poverty the numbers were quite similar but more Korean seniors were in poverty and more children of Vietnamese were in poverty. This was an interesting find to me. As for homeownership Vietnamese have about 20% more than Korean. School policies can change or adjust their perspective or policies around school equity by focusing on equal treatment and resources for every type of race/background, and avoid assumptions and stereotypes as they are not accurate. They can recognize the diversity to act on school equity.
