Talk:Demographics of Houston

Untitled
Why does a single paragraph first denote statistics on immigrating populations and then proceed directly to listing murder rates? Seems for the sake of clarity we might want to parse the two discussions, since they don't really have anything concrete to do with one another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.46.160.100 (talk) 22:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)


 * This article is in bad shape, and speaks to someone's POV about crime rather than the subject at hand:Demographics. Jacksinterweb (talk) 23:20, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I removed the crime section because it shouldn't be in the demographics article. Actually, the crime section was originally in an older version of Houston, Texas and was moved here (temporarily, I thought) when that article was being trimmed for size. Postoak (talk) 00:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The phrase "illegal aliens" needs to be changed. I suggest "undocumented immigrants". Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.115.2.175 (talk) 23:12, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Nigerian population inconsistency
“Charles W. Corey of the U.S. Department of State said that it has been estimated that Greater Houston has the largest Nigerian expatriate population in the United States. As of 2018 about 150,000 Nigerian Americans live in the Houston area. The 2017 American Community Survey estimated that 65,000 Nigerian Americans lived in Texas, the vast majority of which reside in Houston. As of 2003, Houston had 23,000 Nigerian American residents… According to the Migration Policy Institute, 2018 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau state that 40,000 Houston residents were of recent Nigerian origins.” These numbers don’t add up. 150,000 Nigerian Americans in Houston in one sentence, and 65,000 in all of Texas next? There seems to be an error. I got a Wikipedia account just to fix this!
