What the Data Shows
Naturalized citizens among foreign-born residents are compared across the 50 states for 2024. The measure is naturalized citizens as a share of the foreign-born population and is reported as a percentage. Vermont has the highest estimate at 69.4%, 6.9 pp above New Hampshire. New Jersey ranks ninth at 55.9%; the leading estimate is 1.24 times as high, and close estimates should be read with their reported 90% margins of error.

Data notes & caveats
ACS values are survey estimates with 90% margins of error. The ranking contains the 50 states only; District of Columbia is a federal district and Puerto Rico is a territory. The percentage denominator is foreign-born population, not a total formed by adding the ranked percentages.
Methodology
For each state, numerator components B05002:[14] were divided by the foreign-born population denominator B05002:[13] and multiplied by 100. Component margins of error were combined by root-sum-square; percentage margins follow the Census published proportion procedure with the plus-term fallback when required.
Source consistency notes
Every row uses the 2024 ACS 1-year product, the same detailed-table concept, the same state geography class and the same percentage definition.
