Source and definitions

Roma as first or second ethnicity adds the people who gave Roma as their ethnicity (67,179 nationally, 1.23%) to those who named another ethnicity first and Roma as their “other ethnicity”. The two answers cannot be the same, so nobody is counted twice. Both counts are in the table below.

Census counts are lower than other figures. Ethnicity is self-declared, and many Roma give Slovak or Hungarian. The government's Atlas of Roma Communities 2019 is a survey of municipalities rather than a self-declaration, and reports much higher shares; maps of Slovakia by district with figures up to about 29% come from it. Its public database gives each municipality's Roma share only as a range (for example 11–20%), so those district percentages cannot be rebuilt from it, and they are not shown here. For how the census and estimate compare across Europe, see Roma in Europe.
