Day 2 of the 30 Day Map Challenge is all about lines! Continuing the theme of human struggles, I found the Global Migration Data Analysis Center from the UN International Organization for Migration, which has some fascinating datasets around migration patterns worldwide, and downloaded the International Migrant Stock dataset for 2024.

Use the dropdowns and radio buttons to filter the data set by different region groupings and select either origin or destination regions to see migration patterns. The dashed red lines represent migration routes, with labels indicating the number of migrants on each route.

Click on a line or target to see a popup detailing the direction and number of migrants.
