These countries are overlapping, so even then Bay Area is stuck on 13 total combined. I'd say it's a strong 6th, would still place after Houston because there's no Africa presence in the Bay. It's foreign born totals are coming from large numbers of immigrants from about 2/3 countries.
In raw number AND combined the Bay can be considered fourth, but still needs to pull better from Africa, Europe, South America, and Eurasia. I think on pure diversity across the board Houston and DC both edge it out.
But (unless I misunderstand) this thread is specifically about immigrants that entered the country last year. Total foreign born numbers for the metro areas from years past are irrelevant.

You would be absolutely correct. Nor is this about foreign language spoken statistics.
But on the flip side, since DC was being called out:
Speaks a foreign language other than Spanish at home:
New York-Newark- 4,028,940- 17%
Los Angeles-Long Beach- 2,638,005- 14%
San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland- 2,115,709- 22%
Washington-Baltimore Arlington: 1,238,673- 12%
Chicago-Naperville: 1,079,475- 11%
Miami-Port St Lucie-Ft Lauderdale- 744,702- 11%
Dallas-Ft Worth- 700,000- 8%
Houston- The Woodlands- 662,505- 8.8%

So the overwhelming Latin influence in Miami is more to do with the extra amount of Latin Immigrants rather than a lack of non Latin Immigrants because 11% vs 12% I don’t think is enough to write off Miami’s immigrant community as “just like a bunch of Cubans so whatever doesn’t count”

No, like I said it's top three "immigrant hub". It's not being written off anywhere.
Just to be clear, although I appreciate the idea of the groupings in this method, you only ranked them pertaining to 2022 DHS statistics alone--right?
For overall hubs, Philadelphia would certainly rank above Detroit as far as largest communities, and metros like Riverside and Phoenix would need to be included, as well. Here's a rank of foreign-born populations as of the 2019 ACS by metro area: https://www.houston.org/houston-data...ion-metro-area
Diversity is also difficult to discern when the only data being considered is limited to "500+ individuals" for each country of origin.
