Checked: 2026-09-17 ## Method Every row is a published foreign-resident share observation measured in %, ranked highest first. The values were observed in 2023. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources Foreign population with legal resident status at 31 December; Total Nacionalidade; annual municipality value. — https://www.pordata.pt/municipios/populacao%2Bestrangeira%2Bcom%2Bestatuto%2Blegal%2Bde%2Bresidente%2Btotal%2Be%2Bpor%2Balgumas%2Bnacionalidades-101 Eurostat — https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination/statistics/1.0/data/urb_cpopcb?format=JSON&lang=en ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
