Abstract: More than 40 million immigrants live in the United States (U.S.), comprising about 13.7% of the population [1], and the U.S. Census Bureau projects that the foreign-born population will grow to around 20% by 2060 [2]. The DMV region has become a magnet for immigrants. Since rapid demographic growth amongst immigrants in the DMV is projected [3], it is crucial to understand immigrant residential and mode choices. The DMV metropolitan area has recently emerged as an immigrant gateway. Singer describes six types of immigrant gateways: Former, Continuous, Post-World War II, Emerging, Re-Emerging, and Pre-Emerging [4].
