In 2020, the number of immigrants to Iceland from non-EU, EFTA, and candidate countries who held a citizenship from a country with a high or very high Human Development Index (HDI) level increased sharply. On the other hand, the number of people from countries with a medium HDI level dropped from over 600 to less than 340. From 2015 to 2018, the number of immigrants from these countries more than doubled due to the influx of immigrants to Europe in 2015 and 2016. Citizens of countries with a low HDI level was the smallest group of immigrants to Iceland, with only 160 in 2021.
