   Austria: in 2020–2023 net migration was higher than 11 of 12 UN projections assumed

   The 2019 projection, for example, expected that in 2020–2023 20k more people would arrive than leave a year; by the UN's current estimate, 66.8k more arrived than left a year. Projections 1998–2022 are all checked against the same recent years, so they are not 12 independent tests.
