@eu.geoforge: I don't have an opinion, just data. What does "percentage of the white (European) population" mean? In this map, the percentage of the white or European population is the estimated proportion of residents with European ancestry. This is not an official racial indicator of Estonia. Estonian statistics do not divide the population into categories of "white" and "non-white", but use indicators such as ethnic nationality, citizenship, place of birth and origin. Therefore, the percentages shown are an estimated estimate for the card, and not an official census. At the same time, it is important not to confuse European origin with ethnic belonging to Estonians. For example, Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Finns, Latvians and many other peoples are of European origin. Therefore, they cannot be automatically excluded from the indicator just because they are not ethnic Estonians. Statistics Estonia separately publishes information on the nationality and origin of the population. 📊 1950 In 1950, the population of Estonia was predominantly of European origin. However, there is no complete modern county dataset for 1950 that is fully comparable to the current administrative system. Therefore, the values in the table are a historical reconstruction based on demographic data from the middle of the 20th century. This is important to take into account when comparing with 2026. , year 2026 In 2026, the indicator remains very high — the average value of our model is about 97.8%. Most counties have values of about 98-99%, since the population of Estonia as a whole consists mainly of European peoples. Thus, according to our estimated model, Estonia has retained a very high proportion of the population of European descent. The changes between 1950 and 2026 were much smaller than if we had compared the proportion of ethnic Estonians. Important: The year 2026 is not the result of the 2026 census. This is an estimate based on available demographic data and current trends. #geography #mapper #estonia #🇪🇪
