How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Jeffery R. Nance is listed with the Charlotte, NC Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 1.4% based on granted and denied asylum decisions represented in the current dataset.

Among the largest nationality groups shown for this judge, the table highlights Honduras (5,465 decided, 0.5% grant rate), Guatemala (2,647 decided, 0.4% grant rate), and Mexico (2,534 decided, 1.5% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
