So this data would be just before covid shutdowns?

nice, but outdated graph – as it’s from 2020! likely a bit different if use more current #s

I’ve seen this posted before, and I wanted to say now what I did then: this is a bad graphic on several axis.

the second column of this chart is formatted in a way that I find inherently manipulative. The size of the graphic in the first column emphasizes the the number of people over percentage of the population. This is not to say that raw numbers are not important, but just by the graph shows ~1/3 Australians as an immigrants, where that number is ~1/6.5 Americas. That demographic difference has it’s own challenges and opportunities. But a casual glance at this chart seem to indicate that America is uniquely burdened by immigrants.

I also question the graphic design on the left most column. The countries‘ color code appears somewhat arbitrary and inconsistent (Why are Syria and Mexico the same color? And why is that color gunmetal grey? Would it not be better to match the colors in column 4?)

This is also based on a report from 2020. Since the data has been compiled, there has been several wars, a global pandemic and considerable change in various policies. If the above chart is still true, re-compile with new data. If it’s not, then this chart is by definition misleading.
