Statistics, Population & Census Data

Bureau of Migrant, Refugee & Labor Services (BMRLS) often receives requests for statistical data related to the populations we serve.  Agencies use this information to plan programming and prepare grant proposals.  Some of the documents are provided in Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word format. For those who do not have these programs, Microsoft provides a free Excel Viewer and a free MS Word Viewer for download.  The Adobe Viewer for pdf files is also available as a free download.

Wisconsin's Refugee Population

Each year the Bureau analyzes relevant data and compiles a Wisconsin Refugee Population Chart showing the estimated refugee population in this state by county and ethnicity.  This information represents the Bureau's best estimate of the current population and the expected new arrivals.  The estimated arrival information for this chart was obtained from the various Voluntary Agencies and the U.S. Department of State.  We also have the estimated maximum arrivals for 2007.
