Keep in mind this is foreign-born immigrant population. So, even the 1.1 million+ who arrived at Germany's doorstep last year won't make any meaningful difference to the figures or the specific maps above.

Yes, Luxemborg does say 45.9% in tiny figures - but then it is a tiny population!

I love Jakub Marian's maps!

793,000 India
790,000 Poland
523,000 Pakistan
383,000 Ireland
301,000 Germany
212,000 Bangladesh
201,000 South Africa
196,000 China
187,000 USA
178,000 Nigeria
170,000 Romania
150,000 Italy
147,000 France

136,000 Jamaica
129,000 Kenya
128,000 Philippines
127,000 Portugal
126,000 Australia - that's a lot of bar staff!

Not surprised about Belgium and Italians considering how many of them are around and been here for quite some time.

I like the maps, but seeing Denmark as "Germany" would make my grandparents roll over in their graves ;-)

I'm not familiar with the relationship between the german and danish people.
Do you really hate germans that much?

No where in my post, did I say that I had anything against germans mate, I said my granparents did, since they lost quite a few friends and family members during the german occupation.

Current situation with information exchange exemplified perfectly. There's always a way to bend whats being said and accuse someone of hating a group of people!


On topic, interesting maps. I'd like to see the population of Europe draw their own maps about what they think the population % and country of origin % is, and compare. I bet they'd be wildly different. Perspective is a crazy thing.

Looks like people are migrating for economic reasons, judging by the economies of the countries they migrated to.
