The following shows that the percentage of software developers who are non-citizens has grown from about 3.1 percent in 1990 to about 7.1 percent in 2018. It has varied between 1.9 percent and 8.3 percent over that period.

The following divides these groups up further by gender. As can be seen, the percentage of software developers who are female U.S.-born citizens has dropped from about 35.2 percent in 1990 to about 13.3 percent in 2018. It's unclear as to why this percentage dropped from 27.2 percent in 2017. Some of this may be actual changes in the companies and workforce but some may be imprecision in the survey. These numbers come from the annual American Community Survey (ACS) which is a 1-in-100 national random sample of the population (see https://usa.ipums.org/usa/sampdesc.shtml#us2018a).

To get more precision, the following adds the occupation group Math & Computer Scientists (64-68) to the prior occupation group of Computer software engineer (229). It shows more stability of U.S. born women in this larger group, having dropped from 30.7 percent in 1990 to 28.9 percent in 2018.

The following shows that the percentage of blacks among Math & Computer Scientists & SW Developers has more than doubled from about 8.8 percent in 1990 to about 19.6 percent in 2018. Among other non-whites, the main increase has been among Asians other than Chinese and Japanese, rising from about 0.8 percent in 1990 to about 4.1 percent in 2018.
