Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of asylum, 1975–2025. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 50 of the 51 years between 1975 and 2025 for Portugal. The missing 1 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
