Refugees to the USA visualized by country of origin [OC]

Data Source – data.un.org

I’ve been visualizing data from UN and U.S. sources recently, and this one focuses on refugees resettled to the USA.

It’s not political, just a way to show how the numbers actually look when turned into a visual.

The data comes from UNHCR and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Yearbook of Immigration 2001 Statistics . Bosnia & Herzegovina dominated that year, followed by Vietnam, Somalia, and Ukraine.

It’s part of a bigger project tracking global refugee trends year by year.
