Immigrant Populations

A total of 471,000 Hispanics of Peruvian origin resided in the United States in 2007, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

Five demographic profiles of Hispanic populations in the U.S. by country of origin -- Guatemalan, Colombian, Honduran, Ecuadorian and Peruvian -- have been added to the profiles of the five largest Hispanic populations -- Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Salvadoran, and Dominican -- posted earlier in the year by the Pew Hispanic Center.

A total of 29.2 million Hispanics of Mexican origin resided in the United States in 2007, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

A total of 1.6 million Hispanics of Cuban origin resided in the United States in 2007, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

A total of 1.5 million Hispanics of Salvadoran origin resided in the United States in 2007, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

A total of 1.2 million Hispanics of Dominican origin resided in the United States in 2007, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

More than eight-in-ten Hispanics self-identify themselves as being either of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Salvadoran or Dominican origin. The characteristics of each group -- including the share that is foreign born, citizen (by birth or naturalization) and proficient in English -- is examined in five fact sheets.

This statistical profile describes the demographic, employment and income characteristics of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. using data from the March 2008 Current Population Survey.

The nation's 11.9 million unauthorized immigrants are more geographically dispersed than in the past, according to a new demographic and geographic analysis of this group that includes population and labor force estimates for each state.

This statistical profile of the foreign-born population is based on Pew Hispanic Center tabulations of the Census Bureau's 2007 American Community Survey.
