Houston Immigration Research Data and Reports from HILSC Partners

The Collaborative strives to be a source of timely and accurate data and information about immigration in the greater Houston region. In general, we recommend seeking information from un-biased, reputable sources. The Migration Policy Institute and the Center for Migration Studies are excellent sources of high-quality data about immigrant demographics and trends as well as research about changing immigration policy. The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at the University of Syracuse is the go-to source of current data about immigration enforcement, staffing, and spending. New American Economy provides accurate data about the economic impact of immigrants at the state, county, and congressional district level.
