Finland is a relatively ethnically homogeneous country, with the vast majority of the population being ethnic Finns. Here are the key points about Finland's racial and ethnic demographics:
The immigrant population has been growing in recent years, but remains relatively small compared to other European countries[4].
As of 2017, about 7% of Finland's population had a "foreign background" (both parents born abroad)[4].
The largest immigrant groups come from the former Soviet Union, Estonia, Iraq, Somalia, and former Yugoslavia[4].
While Finland remains predominantly ethnically Finnish, increasing immigration is slowly diversifying the country's demographic makeup, particularly in urban areas like Helsinki[1][4].
