Learn about populations eligible for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) nationally and in top states and counties. This data tool, based on a methodology that imputes unauthorized status using data from the 2009-2013 U.S. Census Bureau, provides estimates of unauthorized immigrant youth currently eligible for DACA (whether they have applied or not), those who meet all but the educational criteria, and children who will age into eligibility. The tool provides estimates for 40 states and 100 counties, and detailed profiles for the U.S., 32 states, and 39 counties. (See below map to navigate to county profiles.) The data are for the DACA program launched in 2012.
