I didn't include countries that had less than 0.2% of the visitors because of the error margin caused by the low number of significant digits. Iceland at 0.1% and a population of 370k, for example...




This is more interesting. Wow that list really barely differs from a top Human Development Index. Look at those top outliers

  Switzerland     2.30
  Sweden          1.73
  Ireland         1.63
  Denmark         1.55
  Norway          1.48
  Netherlands     1.43

I'm a Swede living in Switzerland, and have previously lived in Ireland. I'm not sure what conclusions to draw from this, but I feel guilty of something.


It looks like you're missing Finland: visitor share 0.7%, population 5614571.


Indeed. (ChatGPT silently removed that row...) Fixed now.
