Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1970–2025. 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 53 of the 56 years between 1970 and 2025 for Romania. The missing 3 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
