Largest Industries: Professional Services, Healthcare, and Retail

Bonus points if you can guess which state it is in

First two numbers mean it's a Sunbelt suburb. Only places that could qualify with that population are in CA, AZ, and TX. High income and Asian population means its either in the Bay Area or in the Houston/Dallas suburbs. High Black population means it cannot be in the Bay Area since no cities of that size except maybe Oakland or Hayward can qualify, both of which don't have that high an income. In the Houston suburbs could be in Fort Bend County or Pearland in Brazoria, and in Dallas must be in Northern Dallas, Collin, or Denton County. That leaves a few major contenders being Sugar Land, Pearland, Richardson, Plano, McKinney, Allen, and Frisco. Sugar Land and Pearland I believe are not nearly as large as those Dallas suburbs, so I'm going to narrow it down to the DFW cities. Plano didn't grow that much, and I'd wager Richardson didn't either, so that leaves McKinney, Allen, and Frisco. From what I remember, Allen is closer to 100k than 200k so that leaves it out of the running. Between Frisco and McKinney, I believe Frisco is more educated and affluent so I'll pick that as the final answer. So Frisco, TX is the answer which I believe went for Trump by about 2 last year, which was a major swing from 2016 and especially Romney's numbers.
