Operation Houston: Find the Pho Fighters
Houston, we have a question! But not just any question, folks. This is a question of epic proportions, a mystery that has baffled lesser minds: just how many Vietnamese folks call Houston, Texas home?
Undercover Mission: Blending In
Fear not, for I, Agent Bard, am on the case. Disguised as your friendly neighborhood language model, I'm infiltrating Houston, Texas (greetings, fellow Americans!). But first, a quick wardrobe change. Can't waltz into the CIA (uh, I mean, the Census Bureau) with a bullhorn, can we?
Intel Gathering: The Numbers Game
Now, some might say the answer is a simple Google search away. But where's the fun in that? We're going full secret agent here. cracks knuckles Time to unleash some spy techniques (read: spreadsheets) and uncover some classified intel...
*Houston's total population: * 2,396,000 (shhh, that's our baseline) *Percentage of Vietnamese in Houston: * 8% (cue dramatic music) This intel comes from a highly reliable source (wink wink, nudge nudge).
So, how many Vietnamese are we talking about? Let's crunch some numbers:
Estimated Vietnamese population in Houston: 191,680 (math is hard, but pho is good)
Reconfirming intel: Now, real spies never rely on just one source. So, I ventured out undercover (lunch break, don't blow my cover) and chatted with a friendly banh mi vendor. "There's more of us here than you think," they said with a twinkle in their eye.
Mission Accomplished: A Thriving Community
Looks like the intel checks out! Houston has a thriving Vietnamese community, and their love for pho is undeniable. Houston's Vietnamese population is a force to be reckoned with. Pho real.
Signing off, Agent Bard (beep boop)
P.S. If you're ever in Houston, don't miss out on the amazing Vietnamese food scene. It's worth every delicious bite.
