From my guess: Texas 29 California 34 Florida 18 New Jersey 13 New York 5 Arizona 4 California 31 California 43 Texas 30 Florida 25 Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population? Post by: cinyc on April 13, 2012, 07:45:34 PM According to the 2010 1 year ACS Census Estimates, the ten CDs with the highest percentage of foreign-born residents are:
FL-21 (58.11%) FL-18 (53.16%) CA-31 (51.53%) NY-05 (48.07%) CA-47 (46.86%) FL-25 (46.78%) CA-29 (46.33%) NY-06 (44.32%) CA-34 (44.26%) NY-09 (42.06%) The ten CDs with the lowest percentage of foreign-born residents are: KY-05 (0.60%) WV-03 (0.78%) OH-18 (0.95%) MO-08 (1.14%) OH-04 (1.19%) PA-12 (1.22%) WV-01 (1.23%) OH-06 (1.35%) MN-08 (1.50%) PA-09 (1.58%) Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population?

I'm surprised that Wyoming wouldn't be in the bottom ten. Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population? Post by: JohnnyLongtorso on April 13, 2012, 08:14:15 PM Wyoming is 9% Hispanic as of the 2010 Census, up from 6% in 2000. That alone probably disqualifies it.

Post by: memphis on April 13, 2012, 08:40:06 PM The only state that would make the list if you threw them all in with the districts is WV at 1.3%

It has the 11th lowest percentage of foreign-born at 1.60%. Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population? Post by: 🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸 on April 14, 2012, 12:55:09 PM I believe foreign-born population is generally under-counted, so there may be several where it is a majority.
Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population? Post by: Sbane on April 14, 2012, 02:58:42 PM CA-29 is a little surprising. Although the Asian areas it picks up are full of first generation immigrants, it doesn't have as many Latinos as other districts that didn't make the cut.

Maybe 1st generation Asians are less likely to hide from census takers? Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population?

Maybe 1st generation Asians are less likely to hide from census takers? Well, I'm basing this on the numbers from the census itself, not on any estimates or any other source. There are other districts with a high hispanic population as counted by the census itself which didn't make this list. I think one possible explanation could be that there are a lot of Armenians in this district, in the Glendale area specifically, and will be counted as white and many are immigrants.

Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on April 14, 2012, 10:10:18 PM MN-08 is less foreign born than MN-07?
I suppose that might be due to the fact that Somalis have been moving to Fargo (and thus Moorhead), not so much to Duluth. Title: Re: what are the top districts with the most foreign born population?
