Facts about immigrants and refugees

Scores of reports and factsheets about immigrants are published every year, mainly at the national level, but also some at the state and local levels. Here we have compiled resources that we find particularly useful.

We have MIRA factsheets with key data and overviews of how major issues play out in Massachusetts. We also invite you to explore our library of Massachusetts-specific resources and national and global data and reports.
