Living in Cuba

Cuba's migration runs almost entirely in one direction, toward the United States. About 1.9M Cubans live abroad, and the diaspora has grown 24% over the past decade. Of those, 1.4M are in the United States, dwarfing the next destinations of Spain and Mexico. Inward migration is negligible — just 2,000 foreign-born residents — making this one of the most lopsidedly emigration-defined countries anywhere.
