"Even if we did, somehow, boost immigration — it's not obvious that people would flock to the same urban centers (like LA) which have previously seen a lot of immigration.
Could be that new immigrants might also go directly for the booming sunbelt metros."
I’m pretty sure Riverside is negative because more Americans and Mexican Americans are heading over to Mexico to work, and Riverside has a high population of Mexican Americans. It’s also very suburban for a metro area as well as having multiple arguably smaller MSAs within its MSA, so it has weird dynamics.

Its more that Mexicans are simply going home. The economy is better and the country is safer than it was back when most came in the 90s and 00s.
I am surprised to see Chicago and Nashville being so low. Orlando seems to be a melting pot. Miami is probably the most international city I've visited.
St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit and Cleveland are ripe for a lot more international growth than what it has seen in the past.

Cleveland, since that is the one I'm familiar with, looks like it will see an influx. I seem to remember that Cleveland was expected to receive something like 400 of the 800 Afghan refugees that were set to come to Ohio. But I think Cleveland is now closing in on resettling 1,000 Afghan refugees.
Local leaders are now expecting 3,000 to 4,000 of the 100,000 Ukrainian refugees the US will accept to come to the Cleveland area, though I'm assuming most of those will end up in the SW suburbs, where places like Parma/Parma Heights and North Royalton (combined population around 130,000) are around 5 percent Ukrainian ancestry and pretty much every other suburb on the SW side is somewhere between 2-3 percent. ...That's not even considering that SW side is also heavily Polish and Slovak, etc. So the SW suburbs culturally probably resemble what Ukrainians are used to more than just about anywhere in the US.
Factor in cost of living, availability and cost of housing, the Cleveland area should be a popular destination moving forward with potentially more Afghan refugees, Ukrainian refugees along with some of the groups that have been coming in smaller numbers (Ghanians, Congolese, SE Asians, etc.).
1. Crazy to see how Miami dominates this, but you certainly feel it when you are here.
2. Crazy to see how low Chicago is. For such an international city for it to be so low is crazy for me. I didn't except it to be top 5-10, but surely somewhere between 11-15.

Yeah it's actually shocking. The housing shortage is real.
