This map displays refugee resettlement "Preferred Communities" in the United States. The locations are "tagged" with the nationalities that are substantially represented in the community; however, most preferred communities include refugees from around the world. Refugees are resettled by private agencies working in partnership with federal and state government. Many "hotspots" include videos.
