This report presents estimates of the legal permanent resident (LPR) population living in the United States on January 1, 2008. The LPR population includes persons granted lawful permanent residence, for example, "green card" recipients, but not those who had become U.S. citizens. The estimates are shown for the total LPR population and the LPR population eligible to apply to naturalize by country of birth, state of residence, and the year LPR status was obtained. Data for the estimates were obtained primarily from administrative records of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The methodology used for the 2007 estimates is similar to that used in previous DHS estimates (see Rytina, 2008 and 2009).
In summary, an estimated 12.6 million LPRs lived in the United States on January 1, 2008. One-half obtained LPR status in 2000 or later; one-quarter became LPRs during 2005-2007.
