On September 28, 2002 The Associated Press reported that "the latest U.S. Census shows more than 9,600 Vietnamese-Americans live in the Oklahoma City area, about twice as many as 10 years ago. The 2000 data counted 12,500 Vietnamese-Americans in Oklahoma, nearly double the population of the second-largest Asian group - Chinese-Americans... Plans also are under consideration to make the city's landmark gold dome a Vietnamese community center."
