Also, how is "start up" defined? Are we talking early investor funding recipients or corner groceries or both? This isn't very useful without a source and method.
Good point about how 'start up' is defined. Apparently it refers to the percentage of start ups in a metro area that are minority-owned in all industries.
Ok. As promised, here are the foreign born white growths by metro area. These are just immigrants from Europe that will be counted below. Immigrants from the Middle East or West Asia are not counted below despite being considered white by the census. Seems Europeans are really only growing in Florida, California, and Texas with a couple of outliers like Seattle and Phoenix:
Orlando: 10,050
Miami/Fort Lauderdale: 9,316
Sacramento: 7,047
Los Angeles: 6,996
San Francisco: 6,862
Dallas/Fort Worth: 5,489
Phoenix: 5,002
Austin: 4,824
Seattle/Tacoma: 4,554
Houston: 3,786
Tampa: 3,751 Washington DC: 3,448
San Diego: 3,290
Minneapolis/St. Paul: 2,463
San Jose: 2,380
Riverside: 2,048 Boston: 1,403
Las Vegas: 1,040
Charlotte: 793
Philadelphia: -1,606
Denver: -1,629
Atlanta: -2,933
Detroit: -4,105
Cleveland: -4,177
Portland: -5,654
Chicago: -21,506
New York: -70,415 (NYC had growth in Eastern and Southern Europe, but huge losses in Northern and Western Europe)
Interesting that both Boston and the DC metros lost whites but both gained white immigrants. The only 2 east coast cities to have that happen.
As for the DC area, most of our white immigrants are now from Eastern and Southern Europe as opposed to Northern and Western Europe. It was always the latter for decades but Southern Europeans & Eastern Europeans overtook that group in 2017. Mostly Russians, Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Albania) Portuguese, Spaniards with sprinkles of Italians/Greeks/Turks who contribute mostly to this growth.
But Northern and Western Europe also grew but by a smaller number.
Actually in the case of both DC and Boston, the largest increases came from Eastern Europe. Southern Europe was relatively flat for both. In DC the largest increase came from Russia. In Boston, Poland.
Just for clarification - not all immigrants born in Europe are necessarily White. There is a substantial population in countries such as United Kingdom and France who have ancestry from their former colonies in Africa, Asia and elsewhere, and later migrated to the US. I would expect virtually all immigrants from eastern Europe are White, as those countries are more homogeneous.
I delved into Boston MA data to see how much NH was affecting the numbers-the answer is..not much at all. Without NH you get a larger slightly more diverse metro that is more black and Latino and less Asian. I use Suffolk County as the hub of it all so there is some overlap with Suffolk County:
The 'Southern Portion' of the existing Boston Metro: Suffolk, Norfolk, and Plymouth Counties, Population ~2,030,000
64.4% White
15.3% Black or mixed race including black
11.9% Latino
8.1% Asian
^this is the 'blackest' part of the state
That portion expanded Suffolk, Norfolk, Plymouth, Bristol Counties and Providence County Rhode Island, Population ~3,230,000
66.8% White
13.0% Black or mixed race including black
13.5% Latino
6.4% Asian
'Southern Portion' of Boston Metro+ Providence County, Rhode Island and Worcester County, Population ~4,060,000
67.0% White
11.6% Black
13.2% Latino
6.2% Asian
The 'Northern Portion of the existing Boston Metro (excluding New Hampshire): Essex, Middlesex And Suffolk County MA, population 3,211,000
64.3% White
14.5% Latino
9.7% Asian
8.2% Black
Eastern MA (excluding the Cape and Islands) +Worcester County, MA and Providence County, RI, Population ~6,464,000
68.4% White
13.0% Latino
9.6% Black
7.6% Asian

Sacramento was third place for Europeans. Probably from the Ukraine.

How much growth is from the European diaspora outside of Europe including Canada, Australia, South Africa, and South America?
