The Institute for Immigration Research (IIR) provides the public, academics, and policy-makers with tailored analysis of U.S. Census data through its Immigration Data on Demand (iDod) service. In recent months, the iDod team of Graduate Research Assistants responded to several requests for data on the foreign born in specific states, cities, metropolitan areas, and counties across the United States, including in:
- Alaska
- Chicago-Naperville-Elgin Metropolitan Area and McHenry County, Illinois
- Worcester Metropolitan Area, Massachusetts
- Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties, North Carolina
- Chester County, Pennsylvania
- Alexandria City County, Virginia
The iDod team also provided analysis on Greek immigrants, Syrian immigrants, and older immigrant adults at the national level. Notably, the iDod team also analyzed data on Hispanic immigrant and all native-born painters in the United States.
Immigrant Painters in the United States
A number of fact sheets offer further insights into the immigrant population in the District of Columbia and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV Metropolitan Area. This includes fact sheets on:
- Nigerian immigrants in the D.C. Metropolitan Area
- Taiwanese immigrants in the D.C. Metropolitan Area
- Tanzanian immigrants in the D.C. Metropolitan Area
- Immigrants aged 16 and older in Washington, D.C.
More about iDod
Immigration Data on Demand (iDod) fact sheets demonstrate how immigrants contribute to the economy and society of the United States. Ultimately, the goal of iDod is to connect people with accurate data on immigrant populations.
In addition to providing a service to the community, iDod offers Graduate Research Assistants at the IIR the opportunity to refine their quantitative and geospatial research skills thorough fulfilling tailored data requests. In this way, the iDod service plays a key role in the IIR's goal to train and equip graduate students with the conceptual and methodological tools to be the next generation of migration researchers.
This fall we welcome a new cohort of Graduate Research Assistants and will begin accepting iDod factsheet requests in September. If you are interested in receiving data, please check back in September to complete an iDod Request Form.
To support our work in training the next generation of migration researchers and continuing to offer our iDod service free of charge to the community, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution.
