These estimates of unauthorized immigrant populations in 182 metropolitan areas were derived from a sample of census data, so they have a margin of error. The margins of error are included here as a rough guide to the possible range of the estimates. For example, the estimate of 25,000 for Albuquerque could range from 15,000 to 35,000.
Unauthorized immigrants include people who either crossed the border illegally or overstayed their visas. For more, read “20 metro areas are home to six-in-ten unauthorized immigrants in U.S.” Additional notes can be found at the bottom of the table.

Notes: Metropolitan areas are defined using the 2013 definitions for metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, as implemented by IPUMS. Areas shown are those estimated to have 20,000 or more total immigrants or 5,000 or more unauthorized immigrants in either 2016 or 2007. Ranks and differences are based on unrounded estimates. See methodology for rounding rules. Only seven metro areas in 2016 differ significantly from the next smaller area; all are among the top 20 and are marked with “*”. “Not sig.” signifies that the 2007 to 2016 difference is not statistically significant at the 90% confidence level. “N/A” signifies that data are not available and the metro area cannot be identified in the IPUMS data for that year. Not all metro areas can be adequately identified in the IPUMS data. Three of 107 metro areas with total populations exceeding 500,000 in 2016 are not shown in the table because they cannot be identified in the 2007 or 2016 IPUMS data; these are Tulsa, OK (#55), Madison, WI (#86) and Lexington-Fayette, KY (#106). Among the 112 metro areas with populations between 200,000 and 500,000, 19 are not shown in the table.
