LOL. That's kind of the point? Austin is in a freaking border region of this country. It has a huge hispanic population. It is not anywhere close to being one of the whitest cities in the US, and discussing it in that context is asinine.

You are aware that Hispanics can also be White, right?

For Atlanta, 54% of migrants are black. For Houston, 54% of migrants are Hispanic. For Austin, only 40% of migrants are white.

So how exactly is Atlanta and Houston "well rounded in terms of growth", but Austin is a white city?
Taking a deeper dive into the data:

Percentages are rounded:

Atlanta:
Black: 222,757 - 54%
Hispanic: 66,989 - 16%
Asian: 74,071 - 18%
White: 46,154 - 11%


Austin:
White: 108,394 - 40%
Hispanic: 106,853 - 40%
Asian: 35,526 - 13%
Black: 18,455 - 7%

Comparing international vs. domestic growth for last year:

Atlanta - Domestic: 31,043 / International: 12,541

Austin - Domestic: 41,334 / International: 5,280

Ill let you judge what you think is more well rounded between this. I gave my opinion.

Miami/Fort Lauderdale: 59,816
Washington DC: 54,816
Orlando: 53,773
Charlotte: 53,544
Minneapolis/St. Paul: 53,144
Phoenix: 45,634
Las Vegas: 41,596
Columbus: 43,977

Im sure a lot of Miami's is going to be international growth, but most is still domestic.
There's also natural increase to consider. At any rate, the Miami metro area isn't a Black domestic migration hotspot like Atlanta, DFW, and Houston for sure and I don't consider it to be in the same category as DC, Charlotte, etc.

Miami is not in the same category as ATL, Dallas, Houston, or DC but it does get large numbers of black migrants especially from the Northeast and the Caribbean. It's important to note that the vast majority of them do not move to Miami-Dade but Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

See here for example: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/bus...231796333.html

The numbers were by metro area and Ive outlined why I included Austin.

Dallas metro is 50% white though. Not really sure where you're going with this honestly.

As you can see, only Austin has hispanics who are also white.

Eh? seems pretty close. If anything, Austin's stats look very representative of the United States as a whole. Atlanta has shockingly low levels of growth for non-hispanic whites, which represent 50% of the country's population.

The thread is actually "where black people are and are not moving to", but for whatever reason a number of posters on here like to say "diverse" and "WHITE CITY" instead of "has a lot of black people" and "doesn't have an especially large number of black people".

I mean hispanics arguably have white skin. And asians work in freaking tech. Clearly they don't count as minorities.

You have to consider the growth rates of each demographic in the country rather than the population share of each demographic group as a whole. White population growth in the country is very low...the lowest of any demographic. Atlanta's has a unusually high amount of African American growth (It's seen as the mecca for blacks in the country) which depresses the % of every other group, yet it's Non-Hispanic whie growth rates in absolute numbers is still almost as high as Seattle's.

And Atlanta's white growth rate in absolute numbers is actually high relative to most cities. Most major cities in the Northeast and Midwest are actually losing white people.
