Wikipedia's article on Hinduism in the United States, community-edited. Reliable for its own statement that the community began to grow after the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which ended national-origin quotas and opened the door to South Asian immigration, growing from a small population toward the more than three million Hindu Americans recorded in the 2021 estimate the article cites; not the right source for a year-by-year growth figure through the intervening decades, which the article does not provide in that detail.
