From ‘There’ to ‘Here’: Refugee Resettlement in Metropolitan America
Brookings Institute 2006 report on refugee resettlement
In medium-sized and smaller metropolitan areas, refugees can have considerable impact on the local population, especially if the total foreign-born population is small. Refugees dominate the overall foreign-born population in smaller places such as Utica, NY; Fargo, ND; Erie, PA; Sioux Falls, SD; and Binghamton, NY, helping to stem overall population decline or stagnation.
Medium-sized metropolitan areas like Fresno, CA; Des Moines, IA; Springfield, MA; and Spokane, WA also have a strong refugee presence.
