Misleading use of "Indian" term in data

So far as I can tell, the US Census bureau uses the term "Asian Indian" for anyone of South Asian ancestry, but this page implies this is data for people of Indian ancestry. This also discredits the article's claim NYC has "by far" the biggest Indian-American population of any city in North America, because that would make it Toronto (https://en.wikipedia.org/Demographics_of_Toronto#City_of_Toronto).

Old data in this article

This article shows only data from 2010. There has been another Census. When can data from 2020 be included? - - Prairieplant (talk) 19:41, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Highest concentration of Indians in the Western hemisphere?

From the current version of the article (June 7th 2023):

"India Square, in the heart of Bombay, Jersey City, New Jersey, home to the highest concentration of Asian Indians in the Western Hemisphere"

Even without doing in-depth research on this topic, Surrey, BC (population 600+ thousand) has 38% of the city being of South Asian heritage. Source: Misplaced Pages

Surrey, British Columbia

While it's true that not all South Asians are Indians, anecdotally as someone who used to live in Surrey the overwhelming majority of South Asians there are Indian (specifically from the Punjab region).
