second #dataviz installment of my #100Viz challenge: Arriving Education.

This is a reimagination of a chart I worked on for work. Most immigrants coming to California are arriving from countries in Asia, not Latin America as the public discourse may suggest. Secondly, most people arriving to California are highly educated. Lastly, while not in the chart, 2016 was the first year Mexico 🇲🇽 is not the top country of origin of recently arrived immigrants: it’s China 🇨🇳.

Pro-tip for those using ACS/ipums data: use the detailed-level code for “bpl” (birthplace) because some countries are clumped together sometimes. For example, the numbers for general-code “India” are a lot higher than the detailed-level code because they group Bhutan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and others under the label “India”.
