Immigration to large American cities

Caption

Results of the arrival flows of the top metropolitan areas in the US: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Miami. We plot the observed flows (blue), the diaspora model estimates (red), and the gravity model estimates (grey) for eight estimated diasporas: Oceania (OC), North America (NA), Caribbean Islands (CAR), Africa (AF), South America (SA), Central America (CA), Europe (EU) and Asia (AS). The diasporas are ranked according to their total arrival flow in the US in 2019. The smallest diaspora is from Oceania, with around 110,000 individuals, while the largest is from Asia, with more than 25 million migrants.
