Immigration in the U.S.
DACA and DAPA
Admission of refugees
Birthright citizenship

Immigration can impact a variety of public policy areas, including national security, criminal justice, budgets, education, healthcare, and elections. Immigration can also change the demographics of a country. The following demographic information helps provide a picture of immigration in the United States by showing how many immigrants live in the country, their racial and ethnic breakdown, and the relative age and sex of the native, naturalized, and non-citizen populations of the state.

In 2014, the total population of the United States was about 314.1 million. About 86.9 percent of people living in the United States were native-born citizens, 6 percent were naturalized citizens, and 7.1 percent were non-citizens.[1]

Click through the tabs below to view state-by-state figures for the citizenship status of residents, demographics by race and ethnicity, and demographics by age and sex.

Note: This page provides data from the American Community Survey (ACS), conducted annually by the United States Census Bureau, on demographics, economic factors, and social factors for the native, naturalized, and non-citizen populations. The ACS refers to immigrants, both naturalized citizens and non-citizens, as the "foreign-born population." The ACS defines those labeled as "non-citizens" as "respondents who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens at the time of the survey." The term "non-citizens" does not distinguish between those who are residing in the country with or without legal permission.[2]

# Number of immigrants[edit]

### Number of immigrants[edit]

Native-born citizen refers to anyone born in the United States, Puerto Rico, or a United States territory or born abroad to citizen parents. The foreign-born population refers to "anyone who is not a U.S. citizen at birth," including naturalized citizens. Naturalized citizen refers to anyone born as a citizen of another country who fulfilled the requirements to become a United States citizen. Non-citizen refers to anyone residing in the United States who is not a citizen. According to the United States Census Bureau, "[n]oncitizens include legal permanent residents, temporary migrants, unauthorized immigrants and other resident statuses."[3][4][5]

According to the American Community Survey, in 2014 California had the largest foreign-born population at 27 percent, while West Virginia had the smallest at 1.5 percent. Both of these states also had the largest and smallest percentages, respectively, of naturalized and non-citizen residents.[6]

# Demographics by race and ethnicity[edit]

### Demographics by race and ethnicity[edit]

The United States Census Bureau treats Hispanic ethnicity and racial identity as distinct categories that can overlap. Its definition of Hispanic ethnicity comes from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, which "defines 'Hispanic or Latino' as a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race." Meanwhile, "[a]n individual's response to the race question is based upon self-identification," according to the United States Census Bureau.[7][8]

In 2014, about 73.8 percent of the United States population was white, while nearly 17 percent had Hispanic ethnicity. The non-citizen population of the United States was 49.8 percent white and 58.1 percent Hispanic.[1]
