Immigrants and their children now account for more than 1 in 5 owner-occupied households in the United States. Few homeowners moved to the U.S. in the past six years.

Each household is classified by the adult identified as the householder. Immigrant householders were born abroad. Householders counted as children of immigrants were born in the U.S. with at least one parent who was born abroad. The rest were born in the U.S. to two U.S.-born parents. Counts come from CPS tables, and the six- or seven-year-tenure breakdown of immigrant householders was computed from CPS microdata. These counts zig-zag because of how the survey records immigration dates — for even years Inman's method measures a seven-year tenure period, while on odd years it reflects a six-year period. Pandemic-era response trends make comparison of data from before and after 2020 more difficult. Household totals from the CPS don't precisely match tallies from other government surveys.
