The resident nonimmigrant refers to foreign nationals who are legally admitted into the United States for specific, temporary purposes and whose classes of admission are associated with residency (e.g., students and temporary workers, etc). The characteristics analyzed include category of admission, country of citizenship, age, gender, and destination state.

Temporary workers and their families accounted for approximately 45 percent of the population, and students and their families accounted for another 40 percent. Nearly half of the resident nonimmigrants were citizens of Asian countries. Eighty percent of resident nonimmigrants were ages 18 through 44.
