Continuing with posts about demographics of immigrants to/residents in Switzerland since I found them interesting. If it is too much I can stop.
Note this considers *all kinds* of foreigners (well except tourists): long term workers, short term workers, diplomats, students, refugees, asylum seekers. Naturalized persons are (obviously) not counted as foreigners.
Someone asked whether there were more detailed data, and there is a list with people living in CH from each country.
Fun data:
There are 340,625 Italians and 326,036 Germans in Italy.
Italy, Germany, France, Austria, and Liechtenstein immigrants make up 36% of total immigrants to Switzerland.
There is exactly one immigrant from Micronesia.
There are 729 stateless people residing in Switzerland.
6.67% of all Liechtenstein citizens live in Switzerland, highest of any country, narrowly beating out Kosovo.
89.2% of Ukrainians in Switzerland are non permanent residents, highest of any country. 100% of citizens of Laos, Barbados, Botswana, Saint Lucia, Eswatini, Monaco, San Marino, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, Marshall Islands, Timor-Leste, Nauru, Tonga, Vatican City, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Kiribati, and Micronesia living in Switzerland are permanent residents.
Largest immigrant group by area:

Europe| Italy | 340,625
Middle East| Turkey | 73,919
