PAKPAC requests all Pakistani Americans to fully participate and make sure that they and their loved ones are counted. I t is crucial for the Pakistani American community as one of the fastest growing and traditionally undercounted populations to be accurately counted. It will also indicate what is the total count of Pakistani Americans in USA, and in which states, towns they reside in.
