Migration data

The MPI Data Hub provides current immigration statistics, maps, and numbers for the United States and other countries. The Data Hub showcases national and state-level demographic, social, and economic facts about immigrants to the US; as well as stocks, flows, citizenship, net migration, and historical data for countries in Europe, North America, and Oceania. It contains tools that allow users to track migration trends, patterns and populations.
