Bosnia and Herzegovina counted · Part 04 of 09
Who lives where
The census asked each resident’s ethnic or national affiliation, as an open question. Answering was optional, and the tables list whatever people declared: the three constituent peoples, smaller communities, and “Bosnian” or “Bosnian and Herzegovinian”.
The answer

Declared ethnicity
The country and its entities
Each entity has a large majority: Bosniaks in the Federation, Serbs in the RS. Croats are the second group in the Federation and a small one in the RS. Brčko District, which belongs to both entities and neither, is the most mixed of the four.

Municipality by municipality
The largest group, and each group’s share
The first layer colours each unit by its largest group, however large. The others shade each unit by one group’s share, which shows where each group is a minority too.

Settlements and municipalities
How many live where their group is the large majority
For each group, its members sorted by the share their own group makes up where they live: first by settlement, then by municipality. Settlements show more separation than municipalities, because a mixed municipality can be a set of villages each of which is not.

Outside the three
Bosnian, undeclared, and everyone else
130,054 residents (3.7%) declared something other than the three constituent peoples, or nothing. Of them, 48,516 declared themselves Bosnian or Bosnian and Herzegovinian; 33,515 did not declare or are unknown. The rest are communities the tables name one by one: Roma, Albanians, Montenegrins, Ukrainians, Turks, Slovenes, Macedonians, people who still wrote “Yugoslav”, and others.
