Best answer: more diverse.

Why:
- More diverse — True. Immigration brings people of different races, ethnicities, languages, religions and cultures, increasing the country’s cultural and demographic diversity.
- Older — False. Immigrants tend to be younger on average than the native-born population, so immigration generally lowers the median age or slows population aging.
- Wealthier — Not straightforward. Immigration raises aggregate GDP, entrepreneurship and innovation, but immigrants often have lower incomes on arrival; the effect on per‑capita wealth or median household income is small and mixed.
- More rural — False. Immigrants are heavily concentrated in urban and suburban areas, not rural ones.
