US Census Data on the Foreign Born Home > 2000 Census Data


While the foreign-born population of the United States increased by 11.3 million between 1990 and 2000, the impact of this growth varied considerably from state to state in terms of population size and composition. Many states experienced enormous growth in their foreign-born population, while others remained more or less unchanged. To facilitate analysis of these differences, the interactive map below provides state-by-state data on foreign-born populations from both the 1990 and 2000 censuses.
