Immigrants reshape housing markets across the United States
A 2013 study by Americas Society/C Council of the Americas and Partnership for a New American Economy finds 40 million immigrants added 3.7 trillion dollars to U.S. housing wealth and stabilized declining neighborhoods. Immigrant demand boosts home values, shifts housing demand within metro areas, and supports affordability in Sun Belt and Rust Belt cities. The analysis covers 1970 to 2010, noting gains in New Mexico and major impacts in the Houston area, with Chicago and Detroit contrasted by immigrant inflows.
