A new study by the USC Lusk Center for Real Estate analyzed Census data and determined that newly arrived immigrants tended to settle in small and medium metro areas between 2000 and 2005. Nashville, Tenn., El Paso, Tex., Bakersfield, Calif., and Stockton, Calif., are among the cities that saw a 27 percent increase in the number of immigrants that came to the United States during the last 10 years; while Los Angeles, New York, and other traditional "gateways" saw a 6 percent decrease in new immigrants. The study determined that new immigrants flocking to mid-size metro areas were less likely than immigrants who settled in gateway areas or native-born Americans with similar incomes to achieve homeownership. In mid-sized metros, Latino immigrants were more likely than Asian immigrants to become home owners, while the reverse was true in gateway cities. Overcrowded conditions were common among both Asians and Latinos residing in smaller metro areas. Source: Los Angeles Times, Alejandro, Lazo (03/15/2010)
