While the absolute number of European emigrants during the Early Modern period was very small compared to later waves of migration in the 19th and 20th centuries, the relative size of these early modern ...
About 70% of the population increase between the 2001 and 2011 censuses was due to foreign-born immigration. [79] Long-term net migration (the number of people immigrating minus the number emigrating) reached a record high of 764,000 in 2022, [80] with immigration at 1.26 million and emigration at 493,000.

[62] The great majority came through Ellis Island in New York, thus making the Northeast a major target of settlement.

The true peak of Nordic migration would come much later, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
