Immigrants who are already living in the United States are choosing more affordable metros for their "second move."
A new report by the Bush Institute lists Cedar Rapids as one of the best places for them to go.
The living standards for immigrants in Cedar Rapids are comparable to the country's 25 largest metros, according to the report.
Why it matters: In recent decades, immigrants in the U.S. have increasingly chosen to live in smaller cities and more suburban areas — spreading demographic and social change across the country, writes Axios' Stef Kight.
