New Interactive Map Tracks Where Migrants Went After Crossing US-Mexico Border
An interactive map shows where millions of migrants settled after crossing the US-Mexico border from 2018 to 2025, based on self-reported addresses.
A new interactive map offers a detailed look at where millions of migrants headed after crossing the Mexico–United States border between 2018 and 2025, drawing on the destination addresses they reported themselves.
The tool allows users to select individual ZIP codes to see the national origins of migrants who settled in a given area. A search filter lets readers explore broader settlement patterns across regions and states.
For those who want the map to open focused on a specific location, the embed link can be adjusted with a "pin" parameter followed by a ZIP code or a larger area name. For instance, adding a ZIP code or a state name to the URL directs the map to that spot on load.
The dataset reflects the situation as of September 16, 2026, and will not be updated further. It was compiled from information obtained through a Freedom of Information request with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The map is available for embedding, with a preview offered for newsrooms and other users.
