These are businesses listed in Hamro App as of August 2026, not a population count. The directory grows as people add places, so treat the ranking as a guide to where the community is dense rather than an exact census.
By type, Texas listings are mostly restaurant & food (95), grocery & markets (21), community & religious (20), professional services (15).
Work
Restaurants, hotels, retail, healthcare and a large and growing tech sector around Austin and Dallas.
Housing and cost
Lower cost of living than the coasts, and no state income tax — the main reason many families relocate here from New York and California.
Rooms in the Nepali community are usually found through community listings rather than the big rental sites, and rarely require credit history — the main practical reason people look inside the community first.
Hamro App filters rooms, jobs, businesses and community posts by state — so you see Texas, not the whole country. Free.
