Center for Migration Studies Releases Database Featuring Estimates and Characteristics of U.S. Unauthorized Immigrants

The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) announces the release of an innovative database that provides detailed information about US unauthorized residents at the national, state, and sub-state levels. The database derives from data collected in the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey and is supplemented by recent estimates produced by Robert Warren, CMS Senior Visiting Fellow and former INS Statistics Division Director. It has been developed in partnership with the Indiana Business Research Center (IBRC) in the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University which, among other initiatives, maintains databases on income, employment, taxes, sectors of the economy, education, demographics, and other economic indicators for the nation, the state, and local areas.
