Nearly One in Seven U.S. Residents Are Now Immigrants

Highest foreign-born share in 107 years
A report by the Center for Immigration Studies analyzes new data from the 2017 American Community Survey (ACS), released by the Census Bureau Thursday, showing the nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) has reached 44.5 million - the highest number in U.S. history. Growth was led by immigrants from Latin American countries other than Mexico, as well as Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. The number from Mexico, Europe and Canada either remained flat or declined since 2010. The Census Bureau refers to immigrants as the foreign-born population.
"American continues to experience the largest wave of mass immigration in our history. The decline in Mexican immigrants has been entirely offset by immigration from the rest of the world.
By 2027, the immigrant share will hit its highest level in U.S. history, and continue to rise," said Steven Camarota, the Center's director of research and co-author of the report.

1.Main points
- Non-UK populations (non-UK born and non-British nationals) continued to increase in 2017; since reporting began in 2004, the non-UK populations of the UK have increased year-on-year as more non-UK people continue to come to the UK to live than move to live abroad for a year or more.
- The non-UK born population increased from 9.2 million in 2016 to 9.4 million in 2017 (up 3%) and the non-British population increased from 6.0 million to 6.2 million (up 4%).
- The increase in non-UK populations in the last few years has been largely accounted for by EU populations, particularly EU14 and EU2, with those born in Romania, or with Romanian nationality, seeing the largest increases.
- Poland remains the most common non-UK country of birth, taking over from India in 2015 (which reflected longer-term migration trends); Polish has been the most common non-British nationality in the UK since 2007.
- In 2017, there were 3.6 million people resident in the UK who were born abroad and held British nationality – people born outside the EU are more likely to hold British nationality than those born in the EU.

2.Statistician’s comment
“Non-UK born and non-British populations continued to increase in 2017, as more people continue to come to the UK to live than move to live abroad for a year or more.
“Poland-born residents and Polish nationals were the most common populations from outside the UK, with an estimated 1 million Polish nationals now living in the UK. However, the largest increases in population were seen from those born in Romania and those with Romanian nationality.”

3.Things you need to know about this release
Country of birth refers to the country that a person was born in and cannot change. Nationality refers to the nationality stated by the respondent when they are interviewed and is subject to change.
Estimates of the population of the UK by country of birth and nationality are based upon data from the Annual Population Survey (APS). The APS is a survey of households in the UK, so does not include most communal establishments. The APS, which began in 2004, is a continuous survey, comprising the Labour Force Survey (LFS), supplemented by sample boosts in England, Wales and Scotland to ensure small areas are sufficiently sampled.
Following user feedback from our
consultation at the end of 2016, it was requested that we provide more timely data. Therefore, we will now be releasing data twice a year, in May (calendar year) and November (mid-year); this means that we are publishing data five months after the reference period. Previously, data were released eight months after the reference period in August each year.
This bulletin should be read alongside the published tables of
Population by country of birth and nationality, January 2017 to December 2017 and the
underlying datasets. Full details of definitions, data and methods can be found in the
Population by country of birth and nationality Quality and Methodology Information and
International Migration – terms, definitions and frequently asked questions.
Please note that all the changes detailed in the release are statistically significant unless specifically stated otherwise.
