The percentage of immigrants in New York City’s population is the highest it’s been in a century.
That’s according to a city report issued Wednesday.
The report says there were just over 3 million foreign-born residents in 2011, out of a population of 8.2 million.
That makes immigrants 37.2 percent of city dwellers.
The last time the city had a higher share of immigrants was in 1910, when 41 percent of residents were foreign-born.
The lowest was in 1970, when 18 percent of residents were immigrants.
The largest groups of foreign-born residents are from the Dominican Republic, followed by China and Mexico.
