Abstract

This report takes an innovative approach to the investigation the foreign-born population in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area (WMA): it distinguishes (1) the immigrant (and nonimmigrant) flows to the area (by examining the annual snapshot data provided by Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) and (2) the immigrant stocks (by examining Census data provided by American Community Survey (ACS) and Census of Bureau). The immigration data from these two main sources complement each other. The analyses of both immigration flows and stocks provide a comprehensive description of the WMA’s foreign-born population and labor pool.
