NEW RESEARCH
The United States is home to 174,200 transgender immigrants. Approximately 41,000 of them live in California, comprising over one-quarter (27%) of the state’s adult transgender population. Most (83%) of California’s transgender immigrants have lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years. They are more likely than U.S.-born transgender people to be older, people of color, married, and have children. While the majority (80%) of transgender immigrants are in the workforce, about one-quarter live in poverty (27%), and two-thirds (68%) rent rather than own their homes.
