== Methodology ==
This list includes:

* Refugees as defined by international law
* Asylum seekers
* Individuals under temporary protection programs
* Crisis-driven migrants (e.g., Venezuelan displacement)

Figures are approximate and based on data reported by international organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Regional Inter-Agency Coordination Platform for Refugees and Migrants from Venezuela (R4V), as well as national migration authorities.<ref name="unhcr" /><ref name="r4v" />

== Notes ==

* In Latin America, many displaced individuals are not formally classified as refugees but are granted temporary protection status.
* Countries such as Peru and Colombia host large numbers of Venezuelan migrants, making them among the largest displacement hosts globally despite lower official refugee counts.
