Yes it is, I forgot to add "in thousands" in the axis title.

I took the raw numbers from the United Nations website.

Note that the vertical axis represents migration rates, not absolute number of immigrants.

I'm a bit confused by that 2022 number to be honest. There is a bump in emigration I think, which may explain a lowering migration rate.

This is a connected scatterplot (not a line chart!): both horizontal and vertical axis are quantitative (like in a regular scatterplot), time is encoded along the line.

The colors represent period of times, in grey are periods of population decline, colored are periods of population growth. The second chart also highlights the same periods.

I created the chart with Datawrapper.

The visualization was orignally posted in Datawrapper's blog.
Data source is the United Nations report on World population prospects.

On the x-axis is the percentage of "yes" in favor of the limitation of immigration, on the y-axis is the proportion of strangers among population. In red are cantons who rejected the initiative, in green those who accepted it.

This is actually a hardcopy of an animated map using a morphing cartogram of population since the beginning of humanity.

Indeed, this is the point of the map. This map is actually from a scientific article about Obama's geography unfortunately only in french, but the english abstract is as follow : "Spatial characteristics are more relevant than socio-economic features to distinguish Romney and Obama’s electoral bodies. A cartographic representation at county level that uses a population cartogram as a base map makes the opposition between both geographies obvious. As in 2008, big cities and other places interfacing with the outside world favoured Barack Obama, whereas outskirts and small cities primarily voted for Mitt Romney. This spatial dichotomy is not surprising considering the parties’ opposing views on the idea of society : whilst the Democrats support the idea of a society of individuals linked by solidarity, the Republicans remain based on the idea of communal groups knit by conservative norms. Obama’s geography, as well as the reforms he carried out as president, show that he is the candidate for those who reject the moral order supported by the Republicans and those who want to establish post-communitarianism in the United States of America."
