Appendix C: Data Sources and Estimate Adjustments by Destination Country

The following list provides complete bibliographic information for sources that were used to provide estimates of the number and religious affiliation of immigrants to each destination country. Acronyms or shortened references are used to identify the data sources for individual destination countries. When no data were available for specific origin countries, the Pew Forum used Sussex University’s bilateral grid data to fill in these figures. When no Sussex data were available, origin country groupings (e.g., Serbia and Montenegro, China including Hong Kong and Macau) were re-allotted according to their population in 2010. For selected countries and territories with no origin data in the Sussex grid (Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Kosovo, Vatican City and Western Sahara), missing values were set to zero. See Appendix B: Methodology for more details on how origin and religion estimates were derived.
