HOW TO READ THIS

Rates, not counts

The State Department reports adjusted refusal rates rather than the total number of applicants for each nationality. A higher rate does not necessarily mean that more people applied or were refused.

The tiles are equal in size so the visualization does not imply population, applicant volume or geographic area.
