How to Interpret These Judge Statistics

Kuyomars Q. Golparvar is listed with the Baltimore, MD Immigration Court. The headline asylum grant rate shown here is 7.0% 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 (765 decided, 3.0% grant rate), Guatemala (569 decided, 3.3% grant rate), and El Salvador (432 decided, 4.2% grant rate). Compare these rows with the judge's overall rate because nationality mix can materially change how the headline number should be read.
