Foreign-Born Population Map Series by Selected Countries of Birth

"These state level maps provide percent distributions and some detailed socio-economic characteristics from Census 2000 for the foreign-born population in the United States and Puerto Rico for selected countries of birth.

The map series includes selected countries of birth that met a national threshold of 500,000 persons or more. In total, fourteen countries of birth were selected: Mexico, China, Philippines, India, Vietnam, Cuba, Korea, Canada, El Salvador, Germany, Dominican Republic, the United Kingdom, Jamaica, and Colombia.1 The percent distributions of the foreign-born populations born in these countries are displayed geographically by state and Puerto Rico.

In addition, selected characteristic maps are also shown for nine countries of birth: Mexico, China, Philippines, India, Vietnam, Korea, Canada, Germany, and the United Kingdom.1 The characteristics maps have a state level threshold of 1,000 persons or more of the foreign-born population born in a selected country of birth in most states. Data for certain states and Puerto Rico that did not meet this criterion are not shown. For example, in 2000 Florida’s total number of the foreign-born population born in China has to be equal to or above 1,000 persons in order to be displayed in the map. Cuba, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Colombia did not meet this criterion, so only percent distribution maps are available. For comparative purposes, the total foreign-born and native populations are also included by percent distribution and for selected characteristics. The fourteen countries of birth listed below are in order by size of their total foreign-born population at the national level." Source: U.S. Census Bureau
