Newcastle, WA: 127 people at $1M+ in a town of 878 Indian-American residents

Newcastle, on the hills between Bellevue and Renton, had about 880 residents of Asian Indian descent in the 2020–2024 survey, 6.8% of the town [1]. The earlier 2015–2019 survey counted about 990, so the community is roughly flat, down 11% within survey margins (our calculation) [1][2].

Our database places 127 people in Newcastle at an estimated $1M+ [6].

How Newcastle compares with nearby places

The Census Bureau's American Community Survey counts 878 people who report Asian Indian ancestry, alone or with another group, in Newcastle [1], against 989 in 2015–2019 [2]. The table compares it with the places in King 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
Seattle	27,773	17,619	58%	3.7%
Bellevue	21,686	18,094	20%	14.3%
Redmond	17,271	13,371	29%	22.3%
Sammamish	12,122	9,290	30%	18.2%
Kent	5,317	4,558	17%	3.9%
Kirkland	4,706	3,407	38%	5.1%
Union Hill-Novelty Hill CDP	4,438	3,702	20%	19.3%
Newcastle	878	989	-11%	6.8%

Asian Indian alone or in any combination. Sources: ACS 5-year estimates [1][2][4]; totals from Table B01003. Change and share are our calculations. Estimates carry margins of error.

Across King County, the places with the highest Asian Indian shares are Redmond at 22%, Union Hill-Novelty Hill at 19%, Sammamish at 18% and Bellevue at 14% [1][2][4]. Newcastle is smaller, but at 6.8% it sits well above Seattle's 4% [1][1][2][4].

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
Redmond	17,271	77,353	22.3%
Union Hill-Novelty Hill CDP	4,438	23,047	19.3%
Sammamish	12,122	66,463	18.2%
Bellevue	21,686	151,847	14.3%
Kirkland	4,706	92,621	5.1%
Kent	5,317	135,603	3.9%
Seattle	27,773	754,195	3.7%

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 Newcastle, Washington

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 127 such people in Newcastle, Washington [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+	<25
$1M–5M	not shown
Total, $1M+	127

Source: HeyAlbert database [6]. Bands are estimates from public evidence; $5M+ combines our $5–15M and $25M+ tiers. Cells under 25 are suppressed. When one tier has fewer than 25 people, the other tier is not shown either, because it could be subtracted from the total.

City	$1M+	of which $5M+
Newcastle	127	<25

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 Newcastle; the Census figures are for the whole place.

Our database places 127 people in Newcastle at an estimated $1M+ [6]. Fewer than 25 of them are in our $5M+ bands, so this post shows the $1M+ total and does not split it by tier [6]. Fewer than 25 have a public giving signal [6].

Why our Newcastle, Washington count looks the way it does

Each estimate in our database rests on a primary piece of public evidence [6]. In Newcastle, Washington, most rest on one type: home value (public assessor or listing records). Because some evidence types here cover fewer than 25 people, and subtracting them from the total could reveal a suppressed tier, we do not show the evidence counts for this place.

Nearly every estimate here rests on public home-value records; company and executive signals are rare in this town [6].

What it means if you work with these families

For advisors, Newcastle is a small, settled Eastside market where the wealth shows up in property records [1][6]. Our King County and Washington posts give the wider picture.

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 6, 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.
