Mestizo Colombians

The 2018 census reported that 87% of the population did not consider themselves part of a listed ethnic group, instead being mostly Mestizo and White. External sources found Mestizos are the main racial group in Colombia, making up between 49% and 60% of country's population. Chibcha mestizos make up around 10 million people or 20% of Colombia's population. According to Latinobarometro in 2023, 50% of Colombians surveyed self-identified as Mestizos. ==Genetics==

Genetic studies estimate that admixture of Colombians varies between regions, but a 2010 study conducted in fourteen urban Mestizo populations reported an average of 47% Indigenous, 42% European, and 11% African ancestry. A 2023 genetic study conducted by Criollo et al. estimated that the average admixture for Mestizo Colombians is 50.8% European, 40.7% Indigenous, and 8.5% African ancestry, however this varies significantly across regions of the country. ==See also==
