Population and Migration
This chart shows annual resident population, US arrivals (1830 to 1912), and international migration (2001 to present). Not all data is available for every period, so gaps are normal.
The population has declined 51% since 1861. US arrivals peaked in 1901 with 14 recorded passengers. Since 2001, net international immigration has added the equivalent of 10% of the current population.

Could a line from Lugo qualify for Italian citizenship?
Between 1830 and 1912, at least 54 passengers from Lugo arrived in the United States. Arrivals peaked in 1901. If one of them is your ancestor, Italy may recognize you as a citizen under jure sanguinis (citizenship by descent).
The birthplace alone does not decide it. Each generation between that ancestor and you does: who naturalized, and when. Since the 2025 law, the number of generations matters too.
The checker goes back through your line one generation at a time. It is not legal advice, and it does not search for records.
