I don’t know to what degree this will help explain the Asian Population of Dartmouth, but according to the US Census 95% of all Asians/Pacific Islanders live in Metropolitan areas. Obviously Hanover is not a Metroplitan area. That isn’t to say students won’t choose to live in a different environment than they are accustomed to (obviously many Asians choose Dartmouth).
In either case I think this might have some bearing on how many Asians choose Dartmouth.

http://www.census.gov/prod/2003pubs/p20-540.pdf
from the Census:
“Nearly all Asians and Pacific
Islanders live in metropolitan
areas.
Ninety-five percent of all Asians
and Pacific Islanders lived in metropolitan
areas, a much greater
proportion than of non-Hispanic
Whites (78 percent). Of the two
populations, Asians and Pacific
Islanders were twice as likely to
live in central cities located in metropolitan
areas (41 percent compared
with 21 percent).”
