United States immigration statistics

Immigration to the United States over time by region

In 2022, there were 46,118,600 immigrant residents in the United States or 13.8% of the US population according to the American Immigration Council. Of these, 9,940,700 were undocumented or illegal, making up 21.6% of all immigrants or 3% of the total US population.[1]

The 1850 United States census was the first federal U.S. census to query respondents about their "nativity"—i.e, where they were born, whether in the United States or outside of it—and is thus the first point at which solid census statistics become available. The following chart, based on statistics from the U.S. census from 1850 on,[2] shows the numbers of non-native residents according to place of birth. Because an immigrant is counted in each census during his or her lifetime, the numbers reflect the cumulative population of living non-native residents.

This census-based approach to measuring historical U.S. immigration statistics produces only a rough approximation because census surveys are conducted only every ten years, yielding only decadal estimates of net migration (immigration to the country minus emigration from it: as proxied by net changes in the stock of foreign-born residents). The chart (above and to the right here), "Immigration to the United States by region (millions)," is a somewhat more accurate depiction, although it too measures only ten year blocks (think of it as a bar graph rather than the line graph displayed), and, as pointed out in the "More Details" to it, the levels shown are valid only through 2010. Actual year by year immigrant arrivals data (with some -not always consistent over time- adjustment correcting for visitors who do not remain permanently), provide more fine-grained measurement, and are available starting as of 1820.[3] However, those data, which were categorized by U.S. immigration authorities as "Immigrants" until about 2000, but since then as "Persons Obtaining Lawful Permanent Resident Status" (yet still labeled "Immigrants" even for years after 2000, in the chart above right), also have inconsistencies over time, most notably because the numbers tabulated reflect actual written recording of (most) non-U.S. citizens arriving before 1933, but -from then on- bestowal of permanent residencies ("green cards").[4]

Refugees

This table lists the number of refugee arrivals by each fiscal year along with the ceiling. Since the United States created a refugee resettlement program in 1980, there has been a ceiling on the number allowed.[10] The Immigration and Nationality Act gives the president the authority to set the ceiling. The year with the lowest ceiling was in 2021.[11] The years where the number of refugees admitted surpassed the ceiling was in: 1992 and 2017.[10]
