Net migration

Arrivals minus departures. Noisy series; the US is a steady receiver.

people

The file

Arrivals minus departures, people per year. The world is ~0 by construction. The series is noisy and often revised.

The indicator

SM.POP.NETM does not split refugees, seasonal, and permanent moves. Read with Population and Population growth.

What the numbers show

The US stays a large net receiver. Poland and Germany jump year to year — 2025 is strongly negative for both in this copy. Do not hang a story on one year; use Fertility for the slow force.
