[OC] Asia Refugees to the USA (1988-2024) Snapshot 1988

Source: Data.un.org

Hi all,

I am continuing Part 4/5 in a series visualizing refugee resettlement patterns to the U.S. by region of the world.

So far, I’ve shared snapshots for:

• Top global source countries

• European refugees

• African refugees

This one focuses on 25 Asian countries, showing how many refugees from each were residing in the U.S. in 1988-2024 based on UNHCR data.

For anyone curious, here’s the full video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8Y79FPIdlw

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.

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.

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.
