Facts About Immigration and Housing
By The Associated Press 07.30.07, 1:55 PM ET


IMMIGRATION GROWTH:

As many as half a million U.S. housing units are newly occupied each year by immigrants. In some parts of the U.S., immigrants account for more than 90 percent of all growth in housing demand.

URBAN POPULATIONS:

Without the addition of immigrants, the New York metro area would have lost nearly 600,000 people from 2000 to 2006. The Los Angeles area would have lost more than 200,000, the San Francisco area 188,000 and the Boston area 101,000.

OVER THE DECADES:

From 1970 to 2000, immigrants' share of the nations' rental households rose from 9 percent to 17 percent and from 7 percent to 9 percent of owner-occupied households. Foreign-born households increased by 1.5 million in the 1970s, 1.8 million in the 1980s, and 4.4 million in the 1990s.

HOME OWNERSHIP:

Immigrants who had been in the U.S. for more than 30 years were just as likely to own a home as native-born citizens of all ages, according to data from the 2000 census. After spending more than 35 years in the U.S., immigrants were slightly more likely to own homes than those who were born here.

Did these elites ever stop to consider Americans moved out of these cities to ESCAPE the "immigrants"? No of course not, that would not serve their propoganda purposes.
