U.S.-born adults are substantially more likely to have completed college if one or both of their parents were immigrants than if both their parents were born in the United States.

The Census Bureau released new data Tuesday showing levels of educational attainment in 2014, as measured by the American Community survey.

The U.S. has 210 million adults aged 25 or older, 83 percent of whom were born in this country, the bureau reported.

Among those with two U.S.-born parents, 32 percent had earned a bachelor's degree or higher, figures show.
