Notes:

I only included countries with >0.830 HDI >5 Millions population.

Net migration rates are a cumulative average for the last 5-10 years.

I dont understand how Chile is "low immigration". Immigration is booming, and upsetting Chileans.

It's still below 1.0 (less than 190,000 a year). Net migration is total of people immigrating minus total of emigrating.

Are you using a ratio of the (countries population - emigration) / new immigrants or absolute number of immigrants - emigrants? Because the perception of immigration is HEAVILY tied to the proportion of your country that is "new".

With this number you would be able to plot the effect of immigration as a matter of its verifying effect on a housing market (Density of effect). Right now this data seems meaningless because it doesn't account for this.

Additionally, with this number you can also be more discerning within the context of a country. If you know a county is more likely to be immigrated to and has a pop similar to another that is not, you can compare two like things to find difference.
