International Immigrants

Summary

This “Worldmapper” map shows the number of international immigrants by territory. Territory size reflects the number of international immigrants that live in each particular country. International immigrants are people living outside the territory in which they were born, including refugees. The United States receives the highest number of international immigrants.

The map is accompanied by two tables that show ranked lists of the ten countries with the highest and lowest levels of immigration. Here immigration is the number of immigrants as a percentage of the total resident population. There is also a bar graph that shows the size of immigrant populations by region.
