Who Are the Born Abroads? An Examination of Nativity in the American Community Survey, 2015
This poster presents general trends and characteristics of the born-abroad population in the United States using data from the 2015 American Community Survey. There were approximately 3 million born-abroad persons in the U.S. in 2015, and the total number of born abroads in the U.S. has increased considerably since 1950. Born-abroad persons are from a wide number of countries of birth. Born abroads were different from both those born in the U.S. and from the foreign born in educational attainment, occupation, speaking another language at home, English proficiency, and in mode of response to the ACS.
