Southern Europe

Slovenia is home to 3 documented ethnic groups in Southern Europe — led by Slovenian (~83%), Slovenia Yugoslav Successor (~9%), Slovenia Other (~8%). 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.

Slovenia Phenotype Profile

Slovenia has a Slovenian-majority demographic profile (~83%) with substantial Yugoslav-successor immigrant population (~9%) plus smaller Hungarian, Italian, Roma, and other communities (~8%). Adult Slovenian male mean stature approximately 180-182 cm.

A descriptive view, not a claim about individuals

This page shows a weighted aggregate of phenotype observations across the Slovenia 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 Statistical Office Slovenia 2021 Census.
