The California Immigrant Data Portal is a project of the University of Southern California’s Equity Research Institute (ERI) to promote narratives to support the integration of diverse immigrant and U.S.-born communities; lift up the intersection of racial justice and immigrant rights; and strengthen the base for inter-sectoral collaborations.
Data portal features
Indicators
Access data disaggregated by race and ancestry across a host of social and economic indicators, including estimates of population by immigration status
The California Immigrant Data Portal is a resource and progress tracker for immigrants and those serving immigrant communities across the state of California. Our data indicators are designed to track change over time, compare across geographies, and disaggregate by race, immigration status, and other features as much as possible. These data indicators, paired with narratives, can be used to better understand the issues facing California’s immigrants to promote a more inclusive and equitable California.
