Worked out from these numbers

How international is the population?

2.9% of residents hold a foreign nationality — 5,048 people of 175,902 people. This counts nationality, not place of birth, so long-settled residents who naturalised are not in it.

Uses a supplemental estimate, so treat it as indicative.
