Chart Directory:
The United States Census classifies a foreign-born person as either a ''Naturalized citizen'' or ''Not a citizen.'' United States citizens are defined as people born as citizens and people who acquire citizenship through naturalization. People born in the United States, Puerto Rico, or the United States Island Areas (see list) are considered native-born citizens. People who were born in a foreign country but have at least one American parent also are considered native.
