Integration Potential of California's Immigrants and Their Children: New Estimates of Potential New Voters at the State, County, and Legislative District Levels.

This report provides never-before-published estimates of naturalized citizens, naturalization-eligible citizens, and U.S.-citizen children of immigrants for all counties and state legislative districts of California, with breakout data on the countries and regions where the immigrants were born and the race of their citizen children. The findings underscore the critical need for integration policies to incorporate the sizable population of immigrants-both naturalized and naturalization-eligible-and their U.S.-citizen children who will soon turn 18 years of age. These newcomers play a vital role in the current and future vitality of California.
