That is a logical fallasy. although you are making an apples to apples comparison on the one hand you can't come out with conclusion that aha that proves that DC is more diverse. It is just not a good measure to count only 1st generation and leave out others because while a city might be getting many Vietnames now for example, Houston already had a huge vietnames population generations ago.
I don't know what the value for DC is, but when you give a value for all africans in houston at 41K when the estimate for nigerians alone in Houston is more than 100K. The stats are useless. I mean the number of total africans given are three times less than the number for one group of Africans. That is a discrepancy that totally throws off the whole studyy for me.
Wait, what? Where do you get that the estimate for Nigerians is over 100,000 in Houston?
The 2008 ACS data in Ancestry for Nigerians in Houston was under the 20,000 population threshold in both CSA and MSA.
The 2008 ACS data in Ancestry for Nigerians in Washington was 20,313 in its MSA and 29,101 in its CSA.
The people who claim Nigerian ancestry in Houston grew 776% (more than 87,000 people) within the last decade? And for some reason it wasn't listed in the 2008 ACS data?

Metro Houston, cause you were using the metro numbers in your list. the 20K is probably city of Houston anyway:

Besides trade and energy, Brown pointed out another link between Houston and Africa: the city's population, which includes probably the largest population of Nigerian expatriates -- some 80,000 -- now living outside Nigeria.

Those were the metro numbers. For both Houston and Washington's MSA and CSA. MSA = metro

The current estimate is 120K or 2% of Greater Houston's population

So the mayor of Houston claims 80,000 in 2003 just 3 years from when the 2000 U.S. Census listed Houston with 12,890 in its whole CMSA (older version of CSA)?
I know that the Census numbers could be conservative, but that's a difference of 67,000 people in just 3 years. I don't know... I find that hard to believe.

it is not 3 years. The metro population was not at 20K in 3 years. It is a metro stat,

The article you gave me where the mayor of the city of Houston stated that there were 80,000 Nigerians was dated November 21, 2003. That's 3 years from when the 2000 Census was taken starting April 2000.
I don't understand your second part. What metro population was 20k in 3 years?

Dude the Mission bend area of Greater Houston alone has more than that CSA figure for Houston.
Houston ha sthe largest number of Nigerians hands down. DC is not even in the top ten.
But Nigerians were just one example. Houston is more diverse than DC hands down.
