Pueblo Colorado is only 3.3%, and Corpus Christi Texas is only 6.6. foreign born. The former is more than 38%Hispanic (and only a bit more than half of the foreign born there are from Latin America), while the latter is more than 55% Hispanic. In pueblo, the majority of the Hispanic population dose not speak any spanish.
In both, as in a lot of the interior southwest and southern great plains, most are descended from immigrants from mexico who came between 1900 and 1928, -but especially after 1910 (the secund Mexican revolution), or to some extent even earlier spanish settlers to the region both before and after it became part of the U.S. who than partly blended with local Indian tribes. -Emil.

Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, PA---3.1%. Hooray for diversity!
Good lord! Even Binghamton is more diverse than we are! Any minorities from NYC/NJ want to move to PA?
Well, you have other attributes. Not everywhere has to be diverse. But, a few laces are even less diverse than yours. -Uh, like most places in most other countries.
Anyway, what do you think of those least diverse metros I posted, or the other part pointing out that there are some smaller metros with large Mexican-American populations but very few immigrants? -Emil.
my area's somewhat diverse, Bethesda-Gaithersburg-Frederick, MD Metro Division 24.9,
