Rapid Asian Growth in Texas

Tom Billings just pointed me toward this article in today's USA Today.

Sun Belt, Suburbs Get More Diverse
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2006-03-07-diversity-report_x.htm

Interesting quotes for Texas include:

"The influx of immigrants and people moving to the Sun Belt and Western mountain states from other parts of the USA is rearranging the ethnic tapestry of urban centers in an unprecedented way. "

Increase in Asian population from 2000-2004 (just four years!)
Austin-Round Rock, Texas 28.2%
Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas 24.8%
These are the 7th and 10th fasting growing areas of Asian population in the country.
