Poll finds 96 percent of U.S. migrants rate their communities positively

A Gallup poll conducted in 2024 and 2025 found that 96 percent of U.S. residents born elsewhere described their communities as good places for immigrants to live. That figure exceeded the share recorded in every other country surveyed. Oman, the UAE, and Canada followed the U.S. at 91 percent.

Native-born ratings Eighty-one percent of native-born Americans said their communities are good places for immigrants. The resulting 15-point gap between migrant and native-born responses was the largest among advanced economies. The survey covered a period that included part of President Donald Trump’s second term.

The poll did not examine whether the gap or the overall ratings changed during that time.
