This study reviews the history of immigration into the County, as well as the economic, social, and educational statuses of the diverse population. It draws on Census data and local surveys and qualitative studies to identify the unmet needs and barriers to services faced by the immigrant community. The report will act as a data source to assist local public and private agencies in seeking and/or deploying funding to support the immigrant population in areas such as housing, health care, legal assistance, education, economic stability, and family services.

The data in this report were primarily derived from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) 2022 Five-Year Estimates and the 2020 Decennial Census. Additional sources include local surveys, research reports, and data from federal and state agencies, including the California Health Interview Survey.
