About

The Newest New Yorkers book provides a comprehensive portrait of immigrants in New York City. It examines the countries of origin of the city’s foreign-born population, their patterns of residence, their demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, their lawful pathways to permanent residency, their presence in the New York region, and their role in shaping the city’s overall population. This 2026 edition of The Newest New Yorkers builds on the preceding volumes and continues a tradition of providing comprehensive information on the foreign-born to policy makers, service providers, and the general public, to help them better understand the needs of a diverse population that continues to reshape the city.
