When and where refugees settled on Long Island
Nearly 200 have come to the Island since 2009, but the last fiscal year saw that number grow by four.
Nearly 200 refugees from a dozen countries settled on Long Island from 2009 through 2018 fiscal years, according to State Department data gathered by the Associated Press. El Salvador accounts for the largest group, 73 out of the 198 total, with Iraq providing the second largest group at 45 refugees. Long Island's total went from 60 refugees in the 2017 fiscal year, which started on Oct. 1, 2016 during the Obama administration, to four in the 2018 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 31. The data tracks the refugees' stated destination in the United States. In many cases, this is where the refugees first lived, although many may have since moved.
The map shows where refugees settled (click on a dot for details); the chart shows the yearly totals and the table below it details the influx by community. Some communities will have multiple lines because they have refugees from two or more countries. This database was updated on Oct. 7, 2018.
