I
Even if you take places that have significant domestic growth like DFW and Houston, Dallas and Harris Counties all had significant domestic population declines.
Wow, that's something I hadn't expected. Really goes to show that domestic population loss is now universal to the core counties of all big metros, no longer just the Northeast and Midwest.
Cost-of-living, specifically for housing, has to be the primary motivating factor.

Even Travis County (Austin) had population declines! Tarrant County (Fort Worth) and Maricopa County (Phoenix) even had very little growth.

This doesn't make sense to me. You think that international immigrants can afford to live in cities but Americans are moving to the suburbs?

Since some people like city proper based data, so I decided to put some together. Foreign born populations by city proper and Ive listed all over 15,000 or the top 5 whichever fits the city. I will not list any under 1,000 though. The number next to the city represents the number of nationalities with at least 15,000 immigrants in the city. All cities with at least 100,000 foreign born are listed as well as a few other notable big cities. Not going below 50,000 foreign born though, so some big cities are missing. Youll notice nothing from the DC, Atlanta, or Detroit areas simply because of the small square mileage those occupy. I also only messed with cities over 150,000. Its for this reason this isnt my favorite metric to do but many on here like it so here we are.

DC ATL Detroit aren’t not there because of small land area. Boston and Miami are significantly smaller than all of them.
Those *cities* aren’t that international. Their suburbs are. Except Detroit. It’s fairly evident if you move from one of the more international cities to one of those cities.
It’s a significant delineation, culturally it can mean a lot. So thank you for this list.

I would say that Detroit does have some international suburbs. Dearborn, Hamtramck, and Sterling Heights are all over 30% foreign born and closing in on 40%.

Actually, DC does appear on that list, between Indianapolis and Plano, Texas.

Those places are very few in number. With Stelring Heights not being particularly close to city limits anyway. I've been to Detroit a few times now. It's not an international city outside of West Asians. It's not a geographically small city either.
The metro foreign born % (10%) is well below the national average (14%). It's not comparable to DCs suburbs.
