  • Black immigrants are among the most highly educated immigrant groups
  • The top five countries of birth for Black immigrants are Jamaica, Haiti, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Trinidad and Tobago
  • The top state of residence for Black immigrants is New York, followed by Florida and Texas
  • Black immigrants are significant contributors to the U.S. economy, and paid $36 billion in taxes in 2018
  • Forty-two percent of Black immigrants own a home or are buying a home, versus 53% of all other U.S. immigrants
