How many people have left the country and are under protection outside it.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 2002 to 2024.
Top-20 · people
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The number of refugees originating from a given country, wherever they are located, according to UNHCR. This is the mirror side of the indicator by country of asylum: there people are counted by the place where they found protection, here by the country they left. It is this series that shows the scale of forced exodus, and the largest displacement crises of recent decades are visible in it.
Important: The indicator counts only those who have crossed a border. People displaced inside their own country are not included, although they are usually more numerous — that is separate statistics, kept by the IDMC.
How many refugees a country hosts. The UNHCR series runs from 1951 — from the founding of the organization.
Crime 1989–2024 Battle-related deathsThe number of people killed in armed conflicts on the territory of a country in a year — combatants and civilians together.
Demography 1960–2025 Net migrationThe difference between the number of arrivals and departures over a five-year period.
Migration 1990–2024 Number of immigrantsHow many people born abroad live in the country at present.
Migration 1990–2024 Share of immigrants in the populationWhat part of a country's population is made up of people born abroad.
Migration 1951–2024 Refugees per 100,000 peopleHow many hosted refugees there are per 100,000 residents of the host country.
