Children of immigrants have nearly doubled as a share of pre-K to 3rd grade students since 1990, a new Urban Institute analysis shows.

The share of children under age 8 with at least one immigrant parent stood at 24 percent in 2008, up from 13 percent in 1990. In 2008, 24 percent of children age 3–5 and 23 percent of children age 6–8 had immigrant parents. In 1990, the figure for both groups was 13 percent.

Some 8.7 million children under age 8 have at least one foreign-born parent, double 1990’s 4.3 million. The number of children with native-born parents slipped from 27.8 million to 27.3 million.

Young children of immigrants account for more than 30 percent of children under age 8 in seven states. California leads the nation at 50 percent. West Virginia comes in last with 2 percent.
