Really?

In 2010, the US Census says that there were 189,661 Asians in Fairfax County -- 18% of the total population of 1,081,726. In Montgomery County, the US Census says that 13.9% of the total population of 971,777 was  Asian, so 135,077 Asians.

So the Fairfax County Asian population grew by 11,266 people between 2010 and 2012, or 6%. And the Montgomery County Asian population grew by 14,275 people between 2010 and 2012, or 11%.

Which means that there were more new Asian residents in 2012 in Montgomery County than in Fairfax County, compared to 2010 (14,275 vs. 11,266), and that the percent growth in Asian residents between 2010 and 2012 was higher in Montgomery County than in Fairfax County (11% vs. 6%).
