Abstract:

North Carolina's coastal population is increasing, and many of the new residents are Hispanic. In 2004, the state's total Hispanic population was over 600,000, and in coastal counties they represent a new workforce. Most of the resources for immigrants, including health care and education, are provided by the local communities. To help communities in this region adapt to working with immigrants, North Carolina Sea Grant researchers have conducted a study comparing the immigrants' use of resources with that of citizens and retirees from other states, as well as of native North Carolinians.
