Migration trends
Greenland is a country of emigrants, and they go almost entirely to one place: of its 18.5K diaspora, 17.4K live in Denmark, the territory it is constitutionally tied to. That number has grown 9% over the past decade. Movement onto the island is far smaller, at 5.5K foreign-born residents, most of them Danish.
