Couple of thoughts I have on the numbers thus far.
1) It seems like the focus of Central American immigration is now coming from Honduras as opposed to El Salvador. This would explain why Houston and Charlotte's numbers shot up and LA's and DC's declined. Houston is, by far, the biggest recipient of Honduran immigrants in the US and Charlotte is the up and comer for that demographic with 72% of their Honduran population (which is already as big as Atlanta's and closing in on New Orleans and Dallas) having arrived since 2005. Its sort of what Houston is becoming for Cubans.
2) Arab's are included in the Asian numbers here. That is why Detroit's numbers are so high.
3) Mexicans are going home.
4) Asian immigration seems to be overwhelmingly driven by just two countries: China and India.
David Coe requested some county level data. Below will be counties by number of immigrant groups that comprise at least 0.5% of the total population. If an immigrant group is listed next to a county, it means immigrants from that country contribute 0.5% or more to the total population of the county.

No Plymouth County, MA? I would've expected Ireland, Haiti, and Cabo Verde there. Kind of even expected Ghana in Worcester County. But not surprised its small in relation to the whole county.

Providence might would add either Laos or Italy. Or nothing at all.
Providence County had Portugal, India, Cabo Verde, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Colombia. No new countries.
Weird and interesting that the UK doesn’t show up in any of these counties yet it was one of the top 10 immigrant groups for the Boston MSA. If I’m recalling correctly.
Can you also do NJ numbers? Would be interested in Middlesex, Hudson, Somorset, and Bergen if possible. Cheers!
