Understanding Immigration in the Fifth District: Where Did International Migrants Settle?
Abstract: In 2022, the Census Bureau announced that international migration to the United States had returned to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, and recent estimates suggest immigration has surged to unprecedented levels. To understand how the flow of international migration changed in our region from the onset of the pandemic, we analyze recent census data that looks at population change and its components. During this period, population change and migration in the Fifth District differed from the national trend and varied across states. Even though this period includes the height of pandemic-related natural population change, migration was a larger driver of population change in most of our states.
