Notes
  1. I.e., according to Statistics Finland, people in Finland:
     • whose both parents are Latvian-born,
     • or whose only known parent was born in Latvia,
     • or who were born in Latvia and whose parents' countries of birth are unknown.[1]
    Thus, for example, people with one Finnish parent and one Latvian parent or people with more distant Latvian ancestry are not included in this country-based non-ethnic figure.
    Also, Latvian-born adoptees' backgrounds are determined by their adoptive parents, not by their biological parents.[1]
