New Bostonians Demographic Report by
"The New Bostonians’ Demographic Report seeks to provide a better understanding of
the city’s immigrant communities. Information on New Bostonians is not easy to gather
because most data on immigrants are not categorized as such. This report compiles
available information on New Bostonians from a number of sources. It is not an in depth
study of specific immigrant communities, but provides a general overview of New
Bostonians to enable Boston residents, organizations, city departments, and individuals to
learn more about the New Bostonian community, their contributions and the important
roles they play in the city of Boston.
The information in this report was gathered through various sources. However, most of
the information is derived from to the 2000 Census, unless otherwise stated. The New
Bostonian’s Demographic Report includes some state and national information while
concentrating on findings for the city of Boston. "
