How Fremont compares with nearby places

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 69,224 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Fremont [1], against 62,912 in 2015–2019 [2]. The table compares it with the places in Alameda County that have the largest Asian Indian communities. Figures are for whole places, and some places extend into neighboring counties [1][2][4].

Fremont	69,224	62,912	10%	30.3%

Dublin matches Fremont's share at 30.1%, and Pleasanton is 22.6% Asian Indian [1][2][4]. Growth is fastest in the Tri-Valley: Dublin's community grew 48% in five years and Livermore's more than doubled, against 10% in Fremont [1][2][4] (our calculation).

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
Fremont	69,224	228,295	30.3%
Dublin	21,304	70,803	30.1%
Pleasanton	17,389	76,960	22.6%
Union City	10,593	67,464	15.7%
Newark	6,496	46,903	13.8%
Livermore	6,354	85,522	7.4%
Hayward	7,649	158,801	4.8%
Oakland	6,478	439,418	1.5%

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 Fremont, California

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 1,017 such people in Fremont, California [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+	639
$1M–5M	378
Total, $1M+	1,017

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+
Fremont	1,017	639

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 Fremont; the Census figures are for the whole place.

Of the 1,017 people in our Fremont set, 378 are in the $1M–5M band and 639 in our $5M+ bands [6]. Fewer than 25 have a public giving signal [6].

Why our Fremont, California 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
Other public signals (executive roles, company filings, gifts, pay)	646	64%
Patent inventors (with company context)	333	33%

Source: HeyAlbert database [6], people at $1M+. Categories under 25 not shown.

Other public signals support 646 of our 1,017 estimates and patent records 333 [6]. Home values account for fewer than 25, so our Fremont count is mostly a count of technology and business careers rather than homes [6].

What it means if you work with these families

For advisors and nonprofits, Fremont is the largest Indian-American community in Alameda County, with more than 1,000 people at $1M+ in our data [1][1][2][4][6]. Our Alameda County and Pleasanton posts cover the Tri-Valley.

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.
