About This Dataset
Net Migration by Country 2024
This chart ranks countries by net migration in 2024, the number of people entering minus the number leaving over the year. A positive figure means more arrivals than departures. It counts movement in a single year, not the accumulated foreign-born population.
Analysis
The top three in Net Migration (people) in 2024 are United States (1,286,132), Ukraine (1,146,012) and Syria (546,494). The 10 entries in Net Migration (people) cover a range of 1,119,160, from 1,286,132 down to 166,972. First and second are separated by 140,120, so the leader sits inside the field rather than apart from it. Only 2 of the 10 reach even half the leader's figure (643,066 or more).
