This map shows everyone who immigrated to the United States between 1820 and 2013 (1 dot = 10,000 people).

The data is from the DHS Yearbook of Immigration Statistics and includes only people who attained permanent resident status. Most illegal immigration is not included.

1. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

What a gorgeous, multi-colored snowstorm from the 70s to the present. Quite moving, actually.

This is the future of the world, not just the US. If you did the same kind of map for Europe, it would look very similar, with the snow moving from south to north and east to west.
