About this ranking

Total population minus residents recorded as citizens of the reporting country, as a percentage of the total population on 1 January.

Includes foreign citizens, stateless persons, recognised non-citizens and residents whose citizenship is unknown. It is not a measure of foreign-born population or strictly foreign nationality.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the EU countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
