The bolded showing the most. Hell, a third of Sugar Land's population is Asian. And you can't get much more diverse than Alief/Mission Bend (Census-designated places).

Perhaps I should have said that most of Dallas' international culture comes from the suburbs (outside the Mexican) anyway.

I noticed while driving on the 10 through the Energy Corridor that for some reason Houston tends to build office buildings over sprawling campuses. That seems to be the opposite of the trend in the outer limits of metros.

Bolding League City but not Clear Lake, interesting. I think you have that one reversed. Clear Lake supposedly has the largest Asian population out of all Houston city limit MPC's. Lots of people from S, E, SE Asia + parts of the middle east in Asia (and Meditteranean). And if you go west of I-45 into unincorporated Friendswood, it is even more mixed. League City is up & coming no doubt, but still has a ways to go.

Why didn't I bold Clear Lake? It's in Houston city limits...

I know that parts of Alief are, but not all.

I was actually surprised by Conroe's diversity. I'd always assumed it was largely white with a little bit of black. Especially since it's hardly a suburb but more like a country town.

It has been academically researched at the University of Texas at Katy that Houston has better Pho than Dallas.

I wouldnt be surprised since the Vietnamese community is bigger there. Ive had Pho down there and it is quite good. Havent tried it here yet. That being said, I wonder what diagnostic method they used.

Im sure the same study would confirm that Dallas has better Korean BBQ.
