These estimates of unauthorized immigrant populations in 155 metropolitan areas were derived from a sample of census data, so they have a margin of error. The margins of error are included here as a rough guide to the possible range of the estimates. For example, the estimate of 40,000 for Albuquerque could range from 30,000 to 50,000. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
