Fewer Immigrants Settle in Nonmetro Areas and Most Fare Less Well than Metro Immigrants.

Effland, Anne B. W.; Butler, Margaret A.

Rural Conditions and Trends, v8 n2 p60-65 1997

In 1996, nonmetropolitan immigrants lived mainly in the South (37%) and West (35%) but were unevenly distributed. Over half were Mexican; 38% of naturalized citizens, and 24% of noncitizens were children. Compared to metro immigrants, nonmetro immigrants had lower educational attainment, earnings, and rates of welfare assistance and higher poverty and unemployment rates. (SV)
