By not counting "domestic born people" do you mean they don't count the kids of immigrants, or they don't count Americans moving in the other direction?
On the second part, I'm really asking whether these are just immigrants (minus move-aways and deaths), or net figures.

I also wasn't clear what these numbers were telling us. I assume what they mean is that if everyone in "Random City A" that was born in "Random Country B" was asked to raise their hand in 2010 and there were 1,000 hands raised that if there were 500 hands raised in 2019, that would then show as -500.
I would love to see the Caribbean category separated in Hispanic Caribbean and Non Hispanic Caribbean/West Indian.
Detroit is by far the largest draw for Arab/West Asian it seems.
For sure on Detroit.
I can pull those numbers, but it’ll be Sunday or later. I had the day off today and that took me 4 hours.

Yes, the children of immigrants are not included in these number.
These number are net immigration. So if an immigrant dies or moves away that is accounted for. That’s why Chicago in particular is showing huge Europe’s declines. They had a bunch of immigrants from Europe after WWII. They’re now dying.
Years ago when I had a seasonal job at Macy's at South Park Mall in Charlotte, one of the other sales associate was an Irish immigrant who had lived in Charlotte for some years. I thought that was kind of cool. But I definitely didn't expect the city to lead in European immigration over the better of the previous decade. The others I'm not surprised about; another temporary job I worked in south Charlotte years ago at a warehouse was like a mini-UN. Before then I had no idea that level of diversity existed in Charlotte (outside of the various Hispanic nationalities). There's just not much highly visible elbow-rubbing among these groups, especially within the professional working world.
Interested to see Houston’s breakdown from Africa. I know majority are from Nigeria but slightly second to NY is surprising. Also, Houston has the largest Caribbean growth away from the East Coast and their Hispanic population is diversifying at a nice clip. DFW is solid as well. Becoming a powerhouse for Asians.

You got it! I did the breakdowns for Houston and DFW on Africa:
Those were the only ones that had over 1,000 new immigrants.
Great seeing DFW continue to diversify.
