Ethnic composition of the population according to census data
How many persons per hundred thousand belong to each ethnic group – this is determined by the population censuses of 2002‑2020. Rows list various ethnic groups, including Russians, Tatars and Chechens, allowing comparison of their sizes relative to each other. Indicators are calculated per 100,000 persons who reported their ethnicity and reflect the population composition in different census years
