Considering your interest in issues that affect the older population, we want to let you know that the Migration Information Source, MPI's award-winning online journal, has just published a new Spotlight on Older Immigrants in the United States.
Analysis of 2007 federal government data revealed the following:
There were 4.5 million older immigrants residing in the United States in 2007, accounting for 11.8 percent of the total US older population.
Nearly three-quarters of older immigrants were naturalized US citizens in 2007.
Over half of older immigrants in 2007 were limited English proficient.
On average, the total personal incomes of older immigrants were about 20 percent lower than those of older natives.
For more state-by-state information on the foreign born, including income, workforce, education, language, demographic and country of origin data, please visit the MPI Data Hub.
