Liechtenstein

LI

Western Europe

Liechtenstein is home to 2 documented ethnic groups in Western Europe — led by Liechtensteiner (~66%), Liechtenstein Other (~34%). This page blends their phenotype and demographic data into one weighted reference: skin tone, facial features, hair texture and build, drawn from published census and ancestry sources.

Demographic Composition

Composition weights are derived from self-identification in published census and demographic surveys. Each row links to the source ethnic-group atlas page.

Liechtenstein Phenotype Profile

Liechtenstein is a small Alpine microstate (~40,000 population) with a substantial citizen majority (~66%) plus foreign-resident minority (~34%). German-speaking, predominantly Roman Catholic.

A descriptive view, not a claim about individuals

This page shows a weighted aggregate of phenotype observations across the Liechtenstein population, based on demographic composition from published census and ancestry sources. Phenotypes within any country are far more varied than the aggregate suggests; this is a descriptive reference, not a deterministic claim about any individual. For source-level detail on individual ethnic groups, see the constituent atlas pages linked below.

Methodology Notes

Composition weights derived from Liechtenstein Office of Statistics 2024 estimates.
