Footnote 194:
Twelfth Census, Vol. I, p. civ.
According to the division adopted in the census of 1910, 84.8 per cent
of the foreign-born were in the North, 5.4 per cent in the South, and
9.7 per cent in the West.
The distribution shown by these figures accords closely with the
statement of destinations made by the immigrants at the time of their
arrival.[195] Whereas 88.4 per cent of the immigrants in 1910 gave their
destination as either the North Atlantic or North Central divisions, in
1900 the census enumerators found 86.2 per cent of the foreign-born
residents actually residing in those divisions, and in 1910, 84.8 per
cent in the North.
There is a marked difference, however, in the distribution of the
various races. This is shown by the following table, which gives the
proportional distribution of some of the leading races of the
foreign-born among the divisions:
