The Asians in Austin go to UT & when they graduate they either end up back in Dallas or Houston.
Austin's Asian population is actually quite weak for a city its size & so is San Antonio's.
I think the Asian pop of Austin will grow well this decade, many will come from North California to Austin.
But Houston is clearly the city where to be in Texas to see Asians.

The population gap between Asians in greater Houston vs. the Metroplex isnt all that great. I dont know that you could accurately say that Houston is clearly the city where Asians are or should be in Texas. Its the biggest, but DFW is no slouch in that category. Houston does have a much larger Chinese community, but DFW has much larger Korean community. Both have very significant Indian and Vietnamese communities.

Yeah that's right.Dallas area is interesting too about that

6.Houston metro : + 109,000

Impressive numbers
Many put Riverside-San Bernardino within metro Los Angeles since the 2 cities are less than 60 miles from LA. That would mean an increase of over 1 million Hispanics in 8 years!
The 2000 census puts the IE pop at about 3.3M
the 2008 estimate puts it at about 4.1M
thats a difference of about 800000 people, sooooooooooooooo does that mean that IE only gained Mexicans and Asians or is something wrong with these stats?
From Wikipedia:
According to census bureau's 2005-2007 estimates 61.79% of the population was White (40.41% White Non-Hispanic), 7.49% Black, 5.74% Asian and 24.98% of other or mixed race.
Judging by these numbers it looks like we are missing a whole heap of people.
Lets say that the population demographics stay roughly the same with the addition of new people, with a slight skew towards an increasing hispanic population then we are missin6
240000 Whites
64000 Blacks and
200 000 other
or put another way, to gain 98000 more asians (if the percentage is 5.7) would mean the asian pop grew by almost 50% thats a hard percentage to believe

I was thinking the same thing. Is it possible to have such a huge increase in growth in 8 years?
