Migration Data Hub
The Migration Data Hub provides comprehensive profiles and interactive maps detailing the demographics, geographic distribution, and socioeconomic characteristics of immigrant populations mostly at the state level, but some data is available at the county, and local levels. Offered datasets include language proficiency, educational attainment, and workforce participation, as well as estimates for unauthorized and refugee populations. Users can use these tools to perform localized needs assessments for non-native English speakers or to identify emerging immigrant communities requiring tailored agricultural, financial, or youth development programming.
User expertise rating:
Beginner. These well-designed resources are easy to navigate and well supported with source and methodology information.
Sample questions:
What are the primary languages spoken by households with limited english proficiency, and how should this data guide the translation and cultural adaptation of materials? What percentage of the foreign-born population in our region is employed in the “Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, and Hunting” sector, and how does their participation in the local labor force compare to that of native-born residents?
