2. Affinity Groups
2015
While peoples from each Affinity Group can be found anywhere in the world, this map assigns countries to a single Affinity Group based on people group population. Note that the Deaf Affinity is not represented on this map. Though Deaf peoples are found in every country and among every major people group, they do not comprise a majority of the population in any country.
The series of maps that follow highlight each Affinity Group showing those countries where people group population from the Affinity make up more than half of the country population compared to countries where people group population from the Affinity make up less than half of the country population.
