    • Post-1964 immigrants show greater geographic concentration than natives, often residing in cities with large ethnic populations.
    • Higher education levels correlate with reduced geographic concentration and increased likelihood of internal migration.
    • Immigrants undertake more internal migration than natives, a process facilitated by education and contributing to assimilation.

    Conclusions:

    • Education is a significant factor in immigrant spatial distribution and mobility within the U.S.
    • Internal migration plays a key role in the assimilation process for educated immigrants.
    • Immigrant settlement patterns are influenced by both ethnic concentration and individual educational attainment.
