Citizenship and Foreign Born
Database Detail
| Name | Citizenship and Foreign Born |
| Summary | Citizens and non-citizens, foreign born demographics, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, educational attainment, employment, income, occupation, earnings, and birthplace |
| Additional Background |
This database contains the U.S. population by citizenship status, foreign born, and various demographic characteristics for foreign born, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, educational attainment, employment, income, occupation, earnings, and birthplace. Data are available for the United States, states, and in some cases, for counties, cities, ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTA), and Census Tracts. (Note that ZCTAs are area representations of U.S. Postal Service (USPS) five-digit ZIP Code service areas that the Census Bureau creates using whole blocks to present statistical data from censuses and surveys.) Data are from American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates. Additional information on the survey is available from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. According to the Census Bureau, values reported are based on a sample and are subject to sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty is represented through the use of a Margin Of Error (MOE) of 90 percent. Users may select both data values and Margins of Errors. The MOE can be interpreted as providing a 90 percent probability that the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of error (the lower and upper confidence bounds) contains the true value.

APA
Format or style, from the American Psychological Association, is commonly used for footnotes in behavioral and social science publications. APA citation is an author-year-system. It is one of the most common styles used and taught at colleges and high schools. See here for more details, including APA formatting for bibliographies.Chicago
Format or style (also known as Turabian), created by the University of Chicago, is commonly used for footnotes in history, business, and fine arts and occasionally in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. The Chicago style has two systems of citation. The author-date system (most common in social sciences and sciences) cites sources parenthetically in the text. The notes and bibliography system (most common in humanities) cites sources in numbered footnotes or endnotes which correspond to a superscript number in the text. See here for more details, including Chicago formatting for bibliographies.MLA
Modern Language Association (MLA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in the language arts, cultural studies, liberal arts, and humanities. MLA uses short parenthetical citations within the text that are linked to an alphabetical list of work cited at the end of the document. MLA commonly cites using this format: author's last name, first name, title, publication, edition or chapter, and year. See here for more details, including MLA formatting for bibliographies.AMA
American Medical Association (AMA) format or style is most commonly used for footnotes in medicine, biomedical research, nursing, dentistry, and other life sciences. AMA uses numerical superscript for citing sources in-text and refers to a list at the end of the work. These references appear in sequential order of when the sources were cited, instead of alphabetical order. See here for more details, including AMA formatting for bibliographies.Please be patient.
