Looking Forward: Immigrant Contributions to the Golden State 2010
-Publication by the California Immigrant Policy Center
California’s Newcomers—a Snapshot:
According to the 2005-2007 American Community Survey, more than one quarter (27%) of California residents are immigrants, a rate higher than any other state in the nation. This amounts to 9.9 million immigrant residents in California.143% of California’s immigrants are citizens. The number of immigrants choosing California as their destination is leveling and those who decide to stay are staying longer. As immigrants remain in CA, homeownership rises and poverty rates decrease. Over time, immigrants become more invested in their schools, communities and neighborhoods. Immigrants and their children make up 41% of California’s population. Of all children in California, 48% have at least one immigrant parent. Most non-citizens (70%) live in households that also have citizens. About 75% of non-citizen Latinos live in households with citizens and about 60% of Asian non-citizens live in mixed-status households.
[Summary: The California Immigrant Policy Center has released a publication about immigrant contributions to California in 2010. It covers immigrant employment, tax payments, GDP contribution, and political power.]
