Ivory Coast has more than 60 ethnic groups, usually classified into five principal divisions: Akan (east and center, including Lagoon peoples of the southeast), Krou (southwest), Southern Mandé (west), Northern Mandé (northwest), Sénoufo/Lobi (north center and northeast). The Baoulés, in the Akan division, probably comprise the largest single subgroup with 15%-20% of the population. They are based in the central region around Bouaké and Yamoussoukro. The Bétés in the Krou division, the Sénoufos in the north, and the Malinkés in the northwest and the cities are the next largest groups, with 10%-15% of the national population. Most of the principal divisions have a significant presence in neighboring countries.

Migration

=Immigration=

Non-Africans in the country include French people, Lebanese people, Vietnamese people, Spaniards, Americans and Canadians.{{cite web|url= https://minorityrights.org/country/cote-divoire/|title= Côte d’Ivoire}}

The economic development and relative prosperity of Ivory Coast fostered huge demographic shifts during the 20th century. "In 1922, an estimated 100,000 out of 1.6 million (or 6 percent) of people in Côte d'Ivoire were Muslims. By contrast, at independence (in 1960), their share of the population had increased rapidly, and Muslims were moving southward to the cocoa-producing areas and the southern cities. By 1998, [...], Muslims constituted a majority in the north of the country, and approximately 38.6 percent of the total population. This was a significantly larger population than the next largest religious group, Christians, who constituted approximately 29.1 percent of the total."{{cite book|last1=Nordås|first1=Ragnhild|editor1-last=Goldstone|editor1-first=Jack A.|editor2-last=Kaufmann|editor2-first=Eric P.|editor3-last=Toft|editor3-first=Monica Duffy|title=Political Demography. How Population Changes Are Reshaping International Security and National Politics|date=2012|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=New York|page=256|chapter=The Devil in the Demography?}} In earlier decades, this shift was mainly due to large-scale immigration from neighboring countries of the interior, that has been going on since colonial times and continued to be promoted during the Houphouet-Boigny era. Since the 1990s, the widening conversion gap between different religious groups has started to tilt the demographic balance in favor of Christians.According to the last census of 2021 Muslims make up 42.5% of population (42.9% in 2014) and Christians 39.8% (33.9% in 2014).{{cite book|last1=Nordås|first1=Ragnhild|editor1-last=Goldstone|editor1-first=Jack A.|editor2-last=Kaufmann|editor2-first=Eric P.|editor3-last=Toft|editor3-first=Monica Duffy|title=Political Demography.
