----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Totals may not equal sum of parts because of rounding. States are ranked on basis of the "high" estimates of Col. (14). Columns: (1) = Pct. distribution based on average of both undocumented immigrants counted in 1980 census and IRCA legalizations, by State. (2) = Aggregate estimates of undocumented immigrants by State calculated from pcts. of Col.(1) and an estimated national total of 3.5 mil. undocumented immigrants. (3) = Pct. distribution based on INS method of estimating undocumented immigrants by State. (4) = Aggregate estimates of undocumented immigrants by State based on INS national estimate of 3.5 million undocumented immigrants. (5) = Pct. distribution based on number of foreign born non-citizens enumerated in 1990 census, by State. (6) = Aggregate estimates of undocumented immigrants by State calculated from pcts. in col.(5) and a national estimate of 3.5 mil. undocumented immigrants. (7) to (12) correspond to cols.(1) to (6) respectively but basis of calculations are a national estimate of 4.0 million undocumented immigrants. (13) & (14) = lowest and highest estimates of undocumented immigrants by State based on national total estimates of 3.5 and 4.0 mil. undocumented immigrants, respectively.
