Han Chinese make up the vast majority of Chengdu's population, with estimates typically placing their representation at over 90 percent. As the capital of Sichuan Province, Chengdu serves as a major hub for the Han ethnic group, which constitutes approximately 91.11% of China's total population. While the city is home to 54 of China's 56 recognized ethnic minority groups—most notably significant populations of Tibetan, Qiang, Yi, and Nakhi people—the Han remain the culturally, economically, and politically dominant majority. Official demographic data for the city specifically confirms that the vast majority of its 21 million residents are Han, a trend consistent with the broader Sichuan region.
