I have several friends who are Vietnamese, so I've always taken an interest in where they live, especially after taking several trips to different parts of the country with them. Some of the numbers listed below came as no surprise to me, but many other numbers did. I've broken down the Vietnamese population by state, both overall and among those with 8,000,000+ population, as well as by MSA with 1,000,000+ population. Here's what I found:

I would have thought Washington would have been a lot higher. There seemed to be a large population around the Seattle area. They have some outstanding food places up there, it makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Looks like I messed up a bit in my post. Oh well...
I think that it's obvious that Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaii have the highest percentages, but then Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, Louisiana, and Kansas make an interesting "runners-up" list...

Look again. Texas is higher than Oregon in concentration.
Really, the Vietnamese hot spots are California and Texas. Washington state and DC are runners up.
That is definately the mother of all Vietnamese neighborhoods. I used to work in Garden Grove and I would eat Vietnamese at least three times a week.
Same here. I didn't learn to appreciate a good banh mi until I worked there, and didn't realize how difficult it is to find a good banh mi until after I left.
