Also important to remember: these will count some people twice. In the cases of Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Dallas and Fort Worth, Washington DC and Baltimore, and Oakland and San Jose, many people will overlap.

Happy data!

Nashville has 167,222 foreign born residents in the metro area if you want to know.

The cut off for the list I made was to have 2,000,000 people within that radius though I did also include Austin because someone requested it.

Yeah, Nashville is a low-immigration area. Its attraction seems to be an internal US thing.

Yeah, Nashville isn't really a multicultural magnet though they do have a few unique groups that do go there is sizable numbers. The Kurds and Egyptians for example.

Massachusetts feels it’s diversity isn’t accurately being counted…

Massachusetts to change how Asian, Black, and other populations are counted in ‘most expansive’ effort in country


In what may be the most sweeping state-level effort of its kind in the nation, Massachusetts will begin collecting more-detailed data on dozens of Asian, Pacific Islander, Black, Latino, and white ethnic groups, a change that proponents say can help sharpen policy makers’ understanding of the needs and challenges of a diversifying population.

With little fanfare, legislators tucked the so-called data equity provision into the state budget that Governor Maura Healey signed this month. It requires state agencies that already collect figures on race and ethnicity — be it the demographics of those receiving food stamps or COVID-19 boosters — to capture a more granular level of information.

That includes collecting data not only on Asian Americans as a whole, but also more than 20 “major” Asian or Pacific Islander groups that fall under that broad umbrella, such as Chinese, Cambodian, Filipino, or Native Hawaiian residents, according to the new law. Besides collecting data on residents who identify as Black, they must also now do so for those who are Jamaican, Haitian, and Nigerian, among others. Data on Latinos must also include those on Mexican, Puerto Rican, or Cuban residents; figures on white groups must be disaggregated for German, Irish, Italian, and others.

The measure has been hailed by academic researchers, legislators, and others as a potential sea change, particularly for groups that, while bundled together in current data, may not speak the same language, share the same culture, or face the same economic or social hurdles.

It’s metro area not city. Arabs also count as “white” which makes a huge difference in Detroit.

Only Anglo-Saxons and other Northwestern Europeans are white. I don't even consider Italians and other Southern/Eastern Europeans white because those peoples actually have culture and they have very distinctive features than White people.

If it’s something you have a problem with, talk to the US census bureau. I don’t make the definitions. I’m Arab myself and I hate being lumped as white, but I don’t make the rules.
