The bar chart compares the number of emigrants from the UK to various selected destinations from 2006 to 2009. Overall, Australia stood out as the all-time dominant country where the majority of British residents preferred to live compared to other destinations, continuously recording the highest number, while the reverse was true for Germany, which witnessed a substantial decline throughout. Another striking feature is that Canada and the USA experienced consistent fluctuations, with the former declining gradually over four years. In contrast with the rest of its counterparts, Greece lagged far behind throughout the time-span, with less pronounced changes in the end.
Australia stood out as the leading country in the immigration level of British inhabitants over the entire time-frame, constantly showing the highest number of individuals, from well over 40,000 million people in 2006 to 50,000 million in 2009. An opposite case was relevant for Germany, where the number of people visiting this country exhibited a mere decline in the same years, from around 23,000 million to almost 20,000 million.
Among North American nations, Canada and the USA emerged as significant players. Canada remained relatively unchanged, stabilizing at around 36,000 million between 2006-2007, while the trend in the USA was milder. However, the number of the former plunged to under 30,000 million in 2009; regarding the latter, despite a noticeable growth in 2008, it rebounded to almost 22,000 million, representing its initial figure.
In terms of Greece, the number of people who opted for inhabiting this country commenced with approximately 12,000 million in the beginning, a figure that then surged to reach its peak of 35 million in 2007. In spite of a staggering increase in the emigrating levels, the number of individuals paying a visit to Greece saw a considerable fall over the following years before bouncing back to 12,000 million in 2009.
