Descriptive analysis not yet available for this lens.
What it measures
Residents with foreign citizenship as a percentage of the population, computed from the values published by Eurostat. Version published by Eurostat on 14 September 2017, retrieved from a copy kept by the Internet Archive.
Methodology
Residents with foreign citizenship or stateless on 1 January, as a percentage of the resident population, computed by Data Super Partes dividing the two values Eurostat publishes for the same year. It counts citizenship, not country of birth: people who become Italian citizens leave the count. It excludes people without a residence permit, who are not registered as residents.

Context layers and attribution rules
Crises
Conventional whole-year periods chosen by the editors; each period's source documents the event. They apply to every EU country. They show temporal coincidences, not causes.
4 periods with source
- Financial crisis1 Jan 2008 – 31 Dec 2009
- Sovereign debt crisis1 Jan 2011 – 31 Dec 2012
- COVID-19 pandemic1 Jan 2020 – 31 Dec 2021
- Energy crisis1 Jan 2022 – 31 Dec 2022
Governments
Each government covers the period from its swearing-in to the end date given by governo.it. An annual figure is not attributed to a single government: the bands show who was in office during the period, as a temporal coincidence. For public spending, the budget law for year N is passed by the government in office in year N−1.
