Abstract: This is an investigation of the dramatic growth, decline, and subsequent resurgence of the Chinese American population in the late 19th and early 20th century. Its purpose is to fix rough numbers around its "phantom growth," growth in a virtually all-male population that occurred between 1880 and 1940, while Chinese immigration was all but illegal. New, more detailed immigration estimates are produced through the application of cohort-component projection to the recently available Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample (IPUMS), a historical data set constituted from U.S. census manuscripts. We hope to cast light on several issues of historical and social significance.
