We have talked about Asian ethnoburbs in states of California, Hawaii, and even in Georgia, but we have not detailed any in Texas. A study from Rice University’s Kinder Institute details the rise of Houston’s Asian American Population. Houston is the most diverse big city in the United States, with two other Texas cities in the top 3, according to WalletHub.
Indians Americans make up the largest Asian ethnic group in the area. Vietnamese Americans are second. Houston has a Chinatown, a little Saigon, and even a Mahatma Gandhi District. Despite that, in many heavily Asian areas, there isn’t a majority of any particular Asian ethic group. One Asian American city in the Houston area, Sugarland, rates as the third best city in the US to live in, according to Liveability. Overall, Asian Americans make up 9% of the Houston region.
My summary only scratches the surface of the report. Check it out.
