Methodology

## What this measures

The number of people born in Europe who obtained lawful permanent resident status in the United States (a green card, by new arrival or adjustment of status) in a federal fiscal year (October to September). Each point is dated 30 September of its fiscal year.

## Why it matters

It is the official count of Europeans settling in America, the other direction of the transatlantic move. Read beside first residence permits issued to U.S. citizens in Europe.

## How to read it

Higher means more Europeans gaining permanent U.S. residence. 164,989 in fiscal 2005 (the first year here and the most in records back to 2005), 83,850 in 2011, a pandemic low of 61,520 in 2021, 80,280 in 2023 and 73,660 in 2024. Values from fiscal 2015 on are rounded by DHS to the nearest 10.

## What it does not say

DHS's "Europe" is a region of birth, not of citizenship or last residence, and it includes Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and the United Kingdom while placing Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in Asia. It counts green cards, not visas, arrivals or the far larger flow of temporary workers and students. Fiscal years run October to September. The Yearbook tables for a fiscal year appear roughly 18 to 20 months after it ends (the fiscal 2024 tables were posted in June 2026), so the latest year is always more than a year old.
