2016 ACS Census Report: Foreign-Born Population for PCSAs

They just got around to releasing the 2016 census estimates for demographical trends in the United States metropolitan regions. First list is by all PCSAs that have a total population over 900,000 people. The "PCSA" stands for Primary Census Statistical Area, which means CSAs for areas that have them and MSAs for areas that don't have CSAs. I'll do a separate list for MSAs in the future, but for the time being will include the Washington DC MSA and Baltimore MSA separately under the overall list.

2016 Foreign-Born Population:

01. Greater New York CSA: 6,415,181

02. Greater Los Angeles CSA: 5,639,329

03. Greater San Francisco Bay Area CSA: 2,630,446

12. Greater Philadelphia CSA: 782,886
13. Greater Seattle CSA: 754,083
14. Greater Phoenix MSA: 675,911
15. Greater Las Vegas CSA: 506,630

16. Greater Orlando CSA: 498,491

27. Greater Raleigh/Durham CSA: 243,723
28. Greater Salt Lake City CSA: 226,326
29. Greater Cape Coral-Fort Myers-Naples CSA: 211,125

30. Greater Hartford CSA: 178,568
31. Greater Cleveland CSA: 173,663
32. Greater Columbus CSA: 159,710
33. Greater Indianapolis CSA: 158,903
34. Greater Kansas City CSA: 158,560
35. Greater Tucson CSA: 150,994
36. Greater Nashville CSA: 146,185
37. Greater Saint Louis CSA: 135,957
38. Greater Milwaukee CSA: 131,606
39. Greater Jacksonville CSA: 129,941
40. Greater Greensboro/Winston-Salem CSA: 126,291
41. Greater Virginia Beach/Norfolk CSA: 116,031
42. Greater Albuquerque CSA: 103,603

43. Greater Cincinnati CSA: 98,419
44. Greater Pittsburgh CSA: 92,723
45. Greater Richmond MSA: 92,149
46. Greater Albany CSA: 81,217
47. Greater Greenville CSA: 78,676
48. Greater Grand Rapids CSA: 78,540

The Baltimore MSA and Washington D.C. MSA separately;

- Greater Baltimore MSA: 292,149
- Greater Washington D.C. MSA: 1,407,787

For whatever reason, information is either not available for or has become very difficult to extract for El Paso, Honolulu, McAllen. Same goes for San Juan. Those will be omitted because the ACS isn't giving me their 2016 numbers for whatever reason.

Also, I put in some separation between clusters of PCSAs (hence the gap), to show close clustering and general range and/or tiers.

[Spade]

How does it compare to 2015's data?

[18Montclair]

Great info.

Here is the number of persons in the largest CSAs that lived abroad a year ago( 2015)

New York 211,214
Los Angeles 134,902
Miami 120,629
San Francisco 111,323
Washington 99,686
Boston 82,758
Houston 82,428
Dallas 60,257
Chicago 55,129
Atlanta 52,948
Seattle 47,935
Philadelphia 42,688
Detroit 38,455

[mhays25]

Yes, great info.

The number who lived abroad a year ago would include US nationals who lived abroad?

[Jandrew5]

That's a cool fun fact: there's more foreign born people living in the New York metro than in 32 states. If all those people formed their own state, it'd rank 18th.

[Bobdreamz]

It seems like half of Miami's metro is foreign born. Percentage wise it's probably the highest in the nation when it comes to a major metro.

Oklahoma City CSA was omitted but I added it.

[mhays25]

On the regional list, Seattle is by far the smallest metro on the list. In that context we do pretty well.
