More than 150,000 people who were born outside the United States lived in the counties affected by Hurricane Katrina. In the October Issue of the Migration Information Source, MPI’s award-winning online resource for migration data and analysis at http://www.migrationinformation.org , MPI Policy Analyst Jeanne Batalova uses 2000 census data to take a detailed look at the foreign-born population in the areas impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and outlines the unique challenges facing non-citizens.
Almost a quarter of all foreign-born in the Katrina area were born in Vietnam or Mexico, and 55 percent of all foreign born who lived in the Rita area came from Mexico. Together with persons born in El Salvador, Vietnam, India and Honduras, these five countries account for 69 percent of all foreign born affected by the storms.
