The proportion of people of foreign origin living in Estonia who are now Estonian citizens has risen in the past decade, from 45 percent in 2011 to 47 percent at present, recent census survey results compiled by state agency Statistics Estonia reveals.
On average, people's homes in Estonia are older than they are, and while apartments, rowhomes and semi-detached houses still account for by far the most homes, the number of households living in single-family homes has increased in the past ten years as well, data from the 2021 Population and Housing Census reveals.
As of the end of 2021, Estonia's population stood at more than 1.33 million, with the native population, i.e. those with at least one parent and grandparent born in the country, accounting for 72.5 percent thereof. Since the previous census, however, the share of residents of foreign origin to consider themselves ethnic Estonians has increased, according to data from the 2021 Population and Housing Census.
