Data sources and limitations

Source: www.unhcr.org/refugee-statistics/ as of mid-2022. See the methodology pages for the definitions of who is included in these statistics on forcibly displaced and Stateless persons and how UNHCR collects this information.
Stateless people presented in this visualisation include those who have not been displaced. It also includes those stateless people that are also forcibly displaced. These people are only counted as forcibly displaced when calculating the total population that UNHCR protects and/or assists to avoid double counting. Use the stateless statuses in the visualisation to highlight these populations.
Summaries of people from the region or country represent the statistics by country of origin, while statistics for people within the region or country represent those present in their own country (e.g. internally displaced people) or within their country of asylum. For returned refugees, the summaries within countries or regions refer to the former country of asylum from which they have returned.
The designations employed and the presentation of material on this map do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the United Nations (and UNDP) concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers of boundaries.
