Hi all,

I Made a chart showing how many refugees from African countries were in the US from 1988 to 2024. Data's from the UN.

You can see spikes after wars and stuff like that. Eritrea, Sudan, Ethiopia, all jump at different points.

Data Source & Verification:

All figures come directly from the official UNHCR Resettlement dataset via the United Nations Data Portal:

The data and overlays are based on verified UN records, nothing is estimated or made up. If you think something looks off, feel free to check the source yourself.

I’m not debating numbers; they’re publicly available for anyone to confirm. UN data shows how many refugees from each country were residing in the U.S. at the end of each year. These are year-by-year population figures, not cumulative.
