What the data means
75 covered countries record positive net migration and 118 record a negative balance. The rate compares net migrants with the same year's resident population; small populations amplify it. Net migration subtracts emigrants from immigrants, so it is neither total arrivals nor a count of foreign-born residents.
Methodology, source and licence
One common observation year (2024) across all entries. Starting at 2024, choose the newest common year with at least 10 existing country guides and at least 70% of world population represented. Regional aggregates and places without an existing country guide or same-year population are excluded; missing observations are never estimated. Net migration per million = annual net migrants ÷ same-year population × 1,000,000. The original migrant count is included in the table. Exact source ties share a rank; country names break ties in display order. The 2026 label is the publication edition, not the observation year.
Source definition: Net migration is the net total of migrants during the period, that is, the number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants, including both citizens and noncitizens.
