Singaporean Americans refers to Americans with Singaporean heritage or ancestry. Since the Singaporean government does not permit multiple- citizenships,[2] it is not lawful for a person to hold both the Singaporean and American citizenships. Therefore, "Singaporean Americans" generally does not indicate that the person holds both the Singaporean and American citizenships. Additionally, because Singapore is a multi-racial and multi-ethnic country, the term "Singaporean" describes citizenship, not an ethnic group.
There is a small community of Singaporeans in the United States, consisting largely of expatriate professionals from Singapore and their families as well as international students. The bulk of Singaporeans in the United States reside in metropolitan areas along a coastline, with the highest population located within the corridor connecting Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C.[3] On the West Coast, most Singaporean Americans live within several hundred miles of Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area.[3] The next highest concentrations are in Texas, followed by an enclave by the Great Lakes, near Chicago and Ann Arbor.
