Pick a country to see its largest immigrant groups on 1 January 2025, counted two ways: by country of birth and by citizenship. For Italy, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Netherlands, the map below goes down to provinces or municipalities, with each office's newest release (up to mid-2026). Every figure is an official count; nothing is estimated.

Top 20 of 222 countries. Every country is in the CSV and in the regional view below.
Born there vs. citizens of
The two measures answer different questions. “Born in” counts naturalised citizens and children born abroad to returning Italy emigrants. “Citizen of” drops anyone who has naturalised and adds foreigners born in Italy.

Where in Italy they live
Pick any origin to map it across Italy's provinces. The newest figures ISTAT publishes: 1 January 2025.

RO: highest share by province
Citizenship. Foreign citizens only. Italians who were born abroad or naturalised, and children of immigrants who hold Italian citizenship, count as Italian, so this understates every immigrant-origin group.
Source: ISTAT (Italian National Institute of Statistics), Resident foreigners on 1 January by country of citizenship, provinces (29_317_DF_DCIS_POPSTRCIT1_1); resident population (22_289_DF_DCIS_POPRES1_1), 1 January 2025. Boundaries: ISTAT administrative boundaries 2025 (generalised). Shares are each office's count divided by its own population count for the same place and date. Groups of countries are plain sums of the listed countries.
Where in Europe does each group live?
Pick an origin to rank every European country by how many people from it live there, or by their share of the population.
Country of birth on 1 January 2025 (newest year with country detail: Switzerland 2021, Denmark 2022, Liechtenstein 2022, Portugal 2024). Not every country reports every origin to Eurostat: a missing country means not reported, not zero.
Outside Europe: UN estimates for every country
UN DESA's International Migrant Stock 2024 covers every country by country of birth, but it is modelled from censuses and registers that can be several years old, so recent arrivals are often missing. Prefer the official figures above where they exist.

Where United States's immigrants come from
Foreign-born residents by country of birth. Arrow = change since 2010; a big ↑ usually means a mostly recent-arrival community, a flat or ↓ one usually means an older, settled community.
Where the United States diaspora lives
People born in United States who now live elsewhere, by destination country. Same growth-arrow logic as the origins list.

Source: UN DESA, International Migrant Stock 2024. “Immigrants” here means people living in a country who were born elsewhere — it is a stock, not this year's arrivals, and it includes naturalized citizens and refugees. It does not say how someone entered (work, family, asylum, study — see “How they come” below) or exactly how long ago they arrived.

What this page measures
- Country of birth counts naturalised citizens and children born abroad to returning emigrants; citizenship drops naturalised immigrants.
- Each regional map uses its office's own concept (citizenship, birth or background), so countries are not directly comparable.
- Arab League, Indian subcontinent and similar groups are sums of countries of origin, not counts of ethnicity.
Definitions for every indicator are listed in the glossary, and collection methods in the methodology.
