How Dallas compares with nearby places
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 15,325 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Dallas [1], against 13,527 in 2015–2019 [2]. The table compares it with the places in Dallas County that have the largest Asian Indian communities. Figures are for whole places, and some places extend into neighboring counties [1][2][4].
| Place | 2020–2024 | 2015–2019 | Change | Share of place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Irving | 42,203 | 31,993 | 32% | 16.5% |
| Dallas | 15,325 | 13,527 | 13% | 1.2% |

The most concentrated communities
Raw counts favor big cities. Ranking places of 20,000+ residents by the share who report Asian Indian ancestry gives a different map [1][2][3][4][5]:
| Place | Asian Indian residents | Total population | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coppell | 7,995 | 42,154 | 19.0% |
| Irving | 42,203 | 256,492 | 16.5% |
| Richardson | 7,570 | 118,731 | 6.4% |
| Wylie | 3,238 | 60,334 | 5.4% |
| Lewisville | 6,720 | 131,080 | 5.1% |
| Carrollton | 6,377 | 133,740 | 4.8% |
| Garland | 4,654 | 246,844 | 1.9% |
| Dallas | 15,325 | 1,307,930 | 1.2% |
Places with 20,000+ residents and at least 1,000 Asian Indian residents. CDP = census-designated place. Sources: ACS 2020–2024 5-year, Tables B02018 and B01003 [1][2][3][4][5]; shares are our calculation.
What the HeyAlbert database shows in Dallas, Texas
HeyAlbert builds profiles of Indian-American individuals with an estimated net worth of $1M or more from public records, and every estimate is tied to a cited source. Our database currently places 797 such people in Dallas, Texas [6]. That is a count of people we have found and estimated, not a census of wealthy households: our coverage is partial and uneven.
| Estimated net-worth band | People in our database |
|---|---|
| $5M+ | 256 |
| $1M–5M | 541 |
| Total, $1M+ | 797 |
Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; $5M+ combines our $5–15M and $25M+ tiers. Cells under 25 are suppressed.
| City | $1M+ | of which $5M+ |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas | 797 | 256 |
Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Cities with 25+ people at $1M+; cells under 25 shown as <25. The city is where our sources place the person; for some records it is a workplace rather than a home. Our records are matched on the city name Dallas; the Census figures are for the whole place.
Of the 797 people in our Dallas set, 541 are in the $1M–5M band and 256 in our $5M+ bands [6]. Fewer than 25 have a public giving signal [6].
Why our Dallas, Texas count looks the way it does
Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence. The mix differs from place to place, depending on which records we have been able to process, and it shapes the counts above more than any real difference in wealth does [6].
| Primary evidence for the estimate | People | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Home value (public assessor or listing records) | 530 | 66% |
| Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay) | 267 | 34% |
Source: HeyAlbert database [6], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.
Home values support 530 of our 797 estimates and other public signals 267 [6]. Our records are matched on the city name, so some people with a Dallas mailing address may live in nearby suburbs [6].
What it means if you work with these families
For advisors and nonprofits, Dallas has a smaller community than its suburbs but a sizable $5M+ group in our data [1][6]. Our Dallas County, Irving and Dallas–Fort Worth posts cover the region.
Methodology
Census figures are American Community Survey 5-year estimates for 2020–2024 and 2015–2019, Table B02018, using “Asian Indian, alone or in any combination” [1][2]. Total population comes from Table B01003 [3]. The Census Bureau changed how it codes detailed race responses in 2020, so part of the change between the two periods may reflect coding rather than migration. All estimates carry margins of error. Shares and growth rates are our calculations.
HeyAlbert counts are aggregates from our database as of November 1, 2026 [6]. They include people we identified as likely of Indian origin with an estimated net worth of $1M or more, based on public records such as property assessments, professional licenses, patents, SEC filings and donor rolls. Coverage is partial and depends on which public records exist and which we have processed. These counts are not population totals. Any cell under 25 is suppressed, and we publish aggregates only, never individual records.
