At the start of 2022, there were 819,356 immigrants and 205,819 Norwegian-born to immigrant parents in Norway, together constituting 18.9% of the total population.[17] The same year, immigrants (and Norwegian born to immigrant parents) originating in the European Economic Area constituted 7.1% of the total number of Norwegian residents, while 6.3% were from Asia including Turkey and 2.7% were from Africa.[17]
Among people of African descent in Oslo, almost 60% are younger than 30, compared to 20% of those of North American background.[18]
As of 2022, there are around 207,575 third generation immigrants in Norway.[17] This means that all of their grandparents were born in a foreign country. The majority of these persons are of Western European and Northern European background with Sweden and Denmark accounting for 36,126 (17.4%) and 33,695 (16.2%) respectively.[17] Other countries with significant third generation communities are the United States with 29,395 (14.1%), the United Kingdom with 17,882 (8.6%), Germany with 14,090 (6.8%), Finland with 6,213 (3%) and South Korea with 5,199 (2,5%).[17]
Of these 1,025,175 immigrants and their descendants (born in Norway with two foreign born parents):
- 419,720 (41%)[17] have a Western background (UK, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Canada and the EU)
- 88,192 (9%)[17] have a different European background (e.g. Russia, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Switzerland are included here)
- 29,515 (3%)[17] have a background from Latin America and the Caribbean
- 144,868 (14%)[17] have an African background
- 342,571 (33%)[17] have an Asian background, including Turkey
In 2012, of the total 660 000 with immigrant background, 407,262 had Norwegian citizenship (62.2 percent).[19] Immigrants were represented in all
