Faroese people in Denmark (also known as Faroese Danes) are residents of Denmark with a Faroese ethnic background.
In 2006, 21,687 people of Faroese descent were recorded in Denmark, a figure almost half the population of the Faroe Islands.[1]
On average each year, not fewer than 240 Faroese move to Denmark from Faroe Islands, which is about 0.5% of the Faroese population.[citation needed]
