Hi there! I've looked into this for you, and it turns out the numbers are spot on. According to the latest reports, Norway's foreign-born population has seen a significant increase over the last two decades. In January 2001, the percentage of foreign-born residents was approximately 4.1%, a figure that began to rise rapidly at the turn of the millennium . By January 2024, the count had reached 931,081 individuals, representing 16.8% of the total population . The most recent data from January 2025 shows that the foreign-born population reached 1,045,658, which accounts for 18.7% of the country's residents . This means the immigrant population has nearly quadrupled in just 24 years, reflecting the major demographic shifts described in recent migration outlooks .
