Migration trends
Sierra Leone sits near migration balance, with about 63.6K people abroad modestly outnumbering the 49.2K foreign-born residents at home. Both sides are tightly regional: the diaspora, up 7% over the past decade, clusters in neighboring Senegal, Liberia, and Guinea — much the same countries that send people into Sierra Leone.
