2) Data on spouses and unmarried children under age 21 of legal permanent residents (LPRs) and unmarried children over age 21 of LPRs by country of birth are from the State Department's immigrant visa issuance statistics; all other data are from Department of Homeland Security, Office of Immigration Statistics.

4) Starting in 2003, the number of new LPRs from certain countries has been represented by a "D" when small numbers are not disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security for confidentiality reasons. The values given for the total foreign-born population include these suppressed numbers, however, the regional and subregional totals do not include these suppressed values and therefore may or may not equal the sum of their component parts.

3) To make this table compatible with others available on the Migration Policy Institute's Migration Data Hub, the country data were rearranged to create several regions and subregions that are different from or not included in the original data source. For instance, the Department of Homeland Security lists Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan under the Europe region, whereas the Data Hub includes them
