The map above shows whether your country has more immigrants (people born abroad who live there now) or emigrants (people born in the country but now living in another one).
The data is for 2024 and comes from the United Nations International Migrant Stock report.
On the surface the map is what you’d expect, North America, Australia, Western Europe and the Gulf States have more immigrants than emigrants.
However, there some surprising things.
For example, North Korea has more immigrants than emigrants, while the much richer South Korea is the opposite. Although it should be noted that the South Korea’s absolute numbers of each are much larger than the North.
Also, Portugal is the lone exception in Western Europe to have more emigrants than immigrants.
