Where are the immigrants coming from and why are they coming here?
The Hispanic/Latino population has increased over the past 15 years and there are populations from Asia (including refugees such as Montagnards, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, and Hmong). There are also African immigrants and refugees from many of the 54 African nations living here. For more information see the Demography of Refugee and At-Risk Immigrant Communities 2005 Report.
