    • Abstract:
      This article offers a basic understanding of the characteristics of older immigrants as compared to the U.S.-born population. This includes age and sex structure, marital status, time in the United States, origin and geographic distribution. The article distinguishes between long-time immigrants (older, more European, more assimilated -- more apt to speak English) and newcomers (younger, Asian or Hispanic, less assimilated).
