These include persons of all immigration statuses.

  3. Population Trends

  4. Foreign-Born Population In Illinois There are 1.7 million immigrants in the state of Illinois. The state has the fifth largest foreign-born population in the nation. Foreign-born persons are nearly 14 percent or more than one in seven Illinois residents.

  5. Immigration over Time The number of immigrants in Illinois is at an all-time high, and has risen steadily since the 1960s, when federal immigration laws were substantially revised. The foreign-born percent of the Illinois population has also been rising since the 1960s, yet immigrants are a much smaller share of the state’s population then they were a century ago.

  6. Growth of Foreign Born in Illinois Immigration has slowed significantly in Illinois. The foreign-born population grew by almost 61 percent during the 1990s, but between 2000 and the 2005-2009 period the population rose only 12 percent. Sources: Decennial censuses; “2009” refers to 2005-2009 American Community Survey

  7. Countries of Origin Immigrants from Mexico comprise the largest portion of all foreign-born groups in Illinois, at 688,000 persons in 2005-2009. Of large immigrant groups, India and Mexico represent the fastest growing populations.

  8. Residence of Immigrants in Illinois The collar counties are experiencing the fastest growth in immigrant population. The foreign born have risen in number by more than 200 percent in Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties since 1990. The collar counties are home to 483,000 immigrants. In the city of Chicago, however, the number of foreign born declined by more than 5% since the year 2000.

  9. The Rise of the Suburbs The graph below illustrates the declining numbers of immigrants in Chicago, the flattening of immigrant growth in suburban Cook, and the rising share of regional immigrants in the collar counties.

  10. Key Measures of Integration With its long history of immigration, a key question for Illinois is the extent to which immigrant populations are integrating into society. Three key measures of immigrant integration are citizenship, income and education.

  11. Naturalization Rates Naturalization is the voluntary process by which legal immigrants become U.S. citizens. The percent of immigrants who are naturalized is an important indicator of immigrant integration. Naturalization rates of Illinois immigrants have risen since the year 2000, after a decline during the 1990s.* About 44 percent of immigrants are U.S. citizens. Naturalization rates are highest among long-established groups from Europe, and lowest among the Mexican population. *Naturalization rates fell in part because the 1990s were a period with high levels of new immigrant arrivals, both documented and undocumented.

  12. Poverty Rates Poverty among immigrants in Illinois has declined slightly since 1990. About 12.9 percent of immigrants are below the poverty level. Among individual groups, current poverty rates are highest among persons from Mexico (17.3%), the Ukraine (14.6%) and Korea (13.2%). Poverty rates among natives have risen since 1990, from 11.7 percent in that year to 11.9 percent in 2005-2009.

  13. Educational Attainment Educational levels of Illinois immigrants have risen steadily in the last two decades. In 1990 about 42 percent of immigrants did not have a high school degree, but by 2005-2009 that number had fallen to 30 percent. Similarly, the percent of the foreign born with a bachelors degree rose from 21 to 28 percent between 1990 and 2007. Source: IPUMS: “2007” is average of 2006-08 period

  25. How Are Port-of-Entry Patterns Changing in Metro Chicago?

  26. 1990 2000 2005-2009 • These maps tell another story of metro Chicago immigration. Each dot represents the top 100 census tracts in terms of recent immigrants. As may be seen, new immigrants to metro Chicago increasingly arrive in the suburbs and in an increasingly dispersed set of neighborhoods in the region. • Map details are : • 1990: top 100 tracts in number of immigrants who arrived in 1985-1990 • 2000: top 100 tracts in number of immigrants who arrived in 1995-2000 • 2005-2009: top 100 tracts in number of immigrants who arrived since 2000

  27. What Are the Leading Neighborhoods of New Immigration?

  28. Top 10 Census Tracts of New Immigrant Arrivals to Metro Chicago This map displays the top ten census tracts in 2005-2009 in number of recent arrivals to the U.S., i.e., immigrants who came to the U.S. since 2000. These port-of-entry areas are significant for where they are – on the North Side of Chicago and in the northern Cook County suburbs – and where they are not – they do not include traditional immigrant neighborhoods on Chicago’s South Side such as the Lower West Side or South Lawndale. New arrivals are immigrants who came to the U.S. since the year 2000. Source: 2005-2009 American Community Survey
