Oh we wont know until probably November or so on the breakdown of ethnicity's. That's when they'll update their information and release demographics to the public.

But I will tell you this though, I always knew their 2009 Estimates for Houston were wrong, I knew it and I called it! And this just proves it, everything they updated in 2007 was screwed up and entirely off track.

You bet that you can expect to see Houston having more Chinese, Italians, Nigerians, Indians, Pakistani's, Bangladeshi's, Hondurans, Mexicans, Salvadorans, Brazilians, & other stuff.

I always thought we had more Pakistanis then Indians in Houston and overall more Desi Muslims.

Why isn't Sugarland growing? It used to be double the sizes of Pearland and The Woodlands back in 00. Now both TW and Pearland have both surpassed it. I wonder what the problem is?

Yeah for sure, I can see that being the case too. I always thought it was more balanced about equal for both but I can definitely see the argument for either side.

It feels about balanced but I always knew their population felt larger than statistics always said it is. And I'm willing to bet the US Census will show just that. Hey, Houston Metropolitan Area has one of the 3 most diverse counties in the country and racially one of the 4 most diverse cities in the country.

Houston has a ton to be proud of. The US Census report is actually a very good one for Houston. The MSA & CSA got to where they were meant to be, Houston actually came out even more diverse than projections & estimates had it as. All very good things for sure.

It should be interesting to see if other* big cities also grew slower than than their surrounding suburbs. Note that in 2000, oil prices were in the $25/barrel range, compared to about $90/barrel today.

Interesting but not really surprising at all.

Chicago posters have just been bitter these past few days. At least our city grows and doesn't lose 200,000 people in a decade, if you want to go there...

And Houston is not corrupt like Chicago either. It may have some malcontents here and there but it's a fine city. Not corrupt like Dallas either. Of course I live in the good city of Fort Worth, the better side of the metromess.

Wow being a diversity fan myself and wanting to see all races balanced out and equally proportionate, this really makes me so happy that Houston & Houston Metropolitan Area are that much closer to 4 X 25%. Way to go for becoming more diverse with more Asians, African Americans, Caucasians, & Hispanics.

Yeah that jumped out to me as well. Over 400,000 Asians (easily the highest in the Southern US) and Houston's black population has now officially passed 1 million. I can't wait until I see the breakdown of the Asian population though. I know Houston has a high Chinese and Vietnamese population. But I'm interested how the other Asian demographics grew.

Sugar Land just hasn't annexed it's ETJ yet, which has had the most growth. The area still grew like hotcakes.
