Date: August 3, 2016

Over the past several decades, Pennsylvania has emerged as an increasingly popular destination for our country’s immigrants. In 1990, there were roughly 369,000 foreign-born residents living in Pennsylvania, a group that accounted for 3.1 percent of the state’s population overall. By 2010, that share had nearly doubled, reaching 5.7 percent. It climbed to 6.4 percent in 2014.
