Note: Estimates are for naturalized citizens who naturalized between 1/1/1990 and 7/1/2010

¹Excludes naturalized immigrants who arrived before 1990 or who naturalized as children aged 0-17.

²Diff = (ACS - OIS)

³%Diff = (ACS - OIS)/OIS * 100

⁴A/R = Ahmed & Robinson 1994 (“low”), SSA = Social Security (Schwabish 2009) (“moderate”), VH = Van Hook et al. 2006 (“high”)

^*Absolute difference between OIS and ACS estimate is greater than twice the standard error of the ACS estimate.
