So the smallest countries have the highest foreign born populations. Makes sense no?

I don’t think this chart is doing justice to the problem. In places like Venice the native population is outnumbered ten to one by tourists. In Malta:
> In 2024, Malta welcomed 3,593,788 inbound tourists, a 19.5% increase from 2023. This translates to approximately [six tourists per resident](https://timesofmalta.com/article/six-tourists-per-resident-malta-among-top-eu-tourism-intensity.1113235), placing Malta among the top European destinations in terms of tourism intensity. The country’s tourism intensity, measured as tourist nights per resident per day, was just over 18 in 2023—three times the EU average—and second only to Croatia.
I don’t think that Maltese is in danger yet but I think that there is a very real danger that Cyprus will no longer be a Greek speaking nation in 50-100 years. I can’t help but think that is a bad thing.

Russia is a non-eu country.
Ukraine too.
Just saying before we get the whole hysteria.

Just to be clear, I am not claiming any conspiracy here, but the numbers speak clearly. We are being replaced. In a matter of decades, Cypriots will not exist anymore. Atleast not in this context, and its a depressing realization.

Tax policies drive migration!

What if a Cypriot was born abroad, would they not count as “foreign-born”? Context here is key because a lot of Cypriot citizens may be born abroad due to parents’ relocation for work, mixed marriages, etc.

I’m a bit confused, do the non eu countries include Switzerland and Norway and the other non eu European countries? If so, wouldn’t the numbers in Switzerland and Norway be closer to 70%?

Interesting. So Luxemburg, Liechtenstein and Switzerland have the highest, and they are some of the richest countries in the world (measured using GDP per capita)
It is almost as if people want to migrate to richer countries for a better living.
God forbid we ever become like Luxemburg… /s
We should try to be more like Romania and Bulgaria, they must be doing pretty well…

How can I use this chart to be unreasonably upset about things?

Apparently no one wants to move to Poland. I thought it was starting to turn around.

It’s kinda unfortunate as a chart design, because I can immediately tell that some people in the comments have misinterpreted the yellow bits as proportions of the *total population* of each country.
