Hipster? Are you kidding me? If gangland barrio living and thousands of beans and tacos restaurants are what you consider hip then I guess it is. Exotic? Like wrapped in the culture of the catholic church....or maybe the highest birth rate for unwed teens in the nation is exotic? Budding Arts? The arts here are limited to paintings of crosses, the virgin Mary or zillions of copy cat native american turquoise jewelry pieces and paintings of teepees...the intrigue of that gets really old....really fast

Midwest:

Chicago: 34,898
Detroit: 11,597
Minneapolis: 10,637
Columbus: 5,129
Indianapolis: 4,336
Kansas City: 3,838
St. Louis: 3,408
Cleveland: 3,111
Buffalo: 2,985

South:

Houston: 31,738
Dallas: 28,010
Atlanta: 21,289
Phoenix: 12,805
Las Vegas: 8,785
Austin; 5,897
San Antonio: 5,712
El Paso: 5,436
Charlotte: 5,400
Nashville: 4,285
Greenville: 4,000
Raleigh: 3,746
McAllen: 3,617
Tucson: 2,895

Im sorry, but those numbers speak for themselves. In fact, Houston, Dallas, and Atlanta together had more international immigration than the entire midwest region together.

Sorry you're unable to bring yourself to believe facts.
That website isn't up to date. Greenville's metro should be on there. It's at about 4,000.

Nope, Greenville did not get 4000 international immigrants in 2012. Those numbers are from the DHS and are not debatable. They are also the most recent ones. Greenville is not on there. It didn't get more than 2000 immigrants.

That isn't possible considering it grew by 18,000 people, from 824,000 to 842,000, from 2011 to 2012.

The numbers I posted are International immigration. Not total growth.

The areas -- South and Midwest -- are drastically different in size. The South is from coast to coast, while the Midwest is its traditional definition. Many ppl in TX don't consider it Southern, so exclude those cities and everything West of it. OR, include the Northeast as part of the Midwest and call it "North vs. South" and re-run the numbers.

That's basically what I did. I did both a breakdown of regions as well as doing a comparison between a combination of the Midwest and Northeast vs the Sun Belt and West. The former two regions are the slowest growing population-wise while the others are the fastest, yet the former are still able to attract, on average, higher levels of international immigrants.
