Copenhagen - population

According to the people count made on the 1st January 2007, the population in the closest areas to Copenhagen made up 33.5% of the total population of Denmark on a land area of 6.3% of Denmark’s total area. About a third of all children in Copenhagen have a foreign background that is slowly increasing since the ´60 when the first wave of Guest workers came to Copenhagen. A set of new immigration laws in 2001 has however made the immigration numbers drop drastically.

The biggest immigrant groups outside the neighboring Nordic countries are made up by people from former Yugoslavia, the Middle East and eastern European countries.
