Refugees under the mandate of the UNHCR by country or territory of origin, 1969–2025. 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 52 of the 57 years between 1969 and 2025 for Cuba. The missing 5 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
