Madeleine Greene and Jeanne Batalova for the Migration Policy Institute in Chinese Immigrants in the United States provide a wealth of data.
Chinese immigrants comprise the third largest foreign-born group in the United States, although numbers declined slightly following the COVID-19 pandemic’s outbreak. Historical arrivals from China in the 19th century prompted some of the United States’ first immigration restrictions, but recent immigrants have tended to be better educated and earn higher incomes than either immigrants overall or the native born.
