Foreign-born residents account for more than a third of America’s net household growth, while Hispanics are easily the ‘majority minority.’
“After contributing more than a third of net household growth between 1995 and 2005,” says the university’s Joint Center for Housing Studies report issued last summer, “new immigrants will likely account for at least that large a share between 2005 and 2015. The children of immigrants born in the United States will also add significantly to household growth.”
