National/ethnic identity
The Census included two questions regarding national and ethnic identity:
- What is your nation? ("Jaka jest Pana/Pani narodowość?")[2] The census provided the following definition: "Nationality (national or ethnic affiliation) is a declared (based on subjective feeling) individual feature of the person, which expresses their emotional, cultural or genealogical relationship (due to the origin of parents) with a specific nation".[3]
- Do you feel an affiliation with another nation or ethnic group? ("Czy odczuwa Pan/Pani przynależność także do innego narodu lub wspólnoty etnicznej?")
- 93.8% of surveyed declared Polish ethnicity; 3,8% other and 2,4% gave no answer.
- 99.7% of those surveyed declared Polish citizenship; 0.2% declared other citizenship.
