Thread Regarding Ethnic Populations

I recall there being a thread a few weeks or so ago about the various ethnicities and percentages thereof in European cities. I am having no luck finding it (and yes, I used the Google advanced search method). Am I losing my mind or just using the wrong parameters in my search?

TIA!

I don't think it was a thread on its own. As I recall, it was a response on someone else's thread. Might make it tough to find.

Glad to know I wasn't remembering a discussion that hadn't taken place, LOL! Maybe someone will remember the original topic and be able to help.

Thanks!

That might be something you have to look up for each individual city and its statistics. Though I am sure wiki should have something to say about it, one can't trust wiki figures and info too much.

I know the stats for Frankfurt if that will help you.

  • 25 % of the population possess a foreign passport.

  • 40 % have some sort of immigration background, either 1 parent is a foreigner, or they have taken on German citizenship.

  • Every third marriage at city hall, one partner is a foreigner.

  • 2 % of the population are native English speakers.

  • Around 180 countries are represented in Frankfurt

I wonder if the webmaster pulled it because I recall it started getting a little ugly. I'm hoping that whoever posted the information about the breakdown of ethnicities in various cities will see this and repost the info.

Well, since this is cyber-space and nothing is ever really deleted, you can still find it by using the Google search instructions and reading the cached version if it.
