Visualization[edit]

The Religion in Bahrain pie chart label says 69.7% are Muslim, but the pie chart itself looks more like 50%. Any idea why? The Futurist Corporation (talk) 12:53, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's rendering a horizontal and vertical line which shouldn't be there, but the green is still clearly covering nearly three-quarters of the pie. CMD (talk) 13:32, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So many men[edit]

This article and the main article on demography show the huge excess of adult men in Bahrain, but say nothing about this in words. Are the non-citizens, the temporary residents all male? In the ages below 20, the gender split is as one might expect, more less evenly split. Then above 20, there is an excess of men. I do not know the nation, and cannot find any commentary on this imbalance. - - Prairieplant (talk) 16:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Prairieplant: The main reason appears to be foreign workers. Page 7 of this demographic report provides detail. Feel free to include this source in the relevant articles and add further context for readers about the gender disparity. Hope this helps.

Breakdown of Sunni/Shia[edit]

Seems to be a highly contested topic as to what % is Sunni vs Shia. The State Department says "Most estimates from NGOs and the Shia community state Shia Muslims represent a majority (55 to 70 percent) of the citizen population.", but the infobox seems to say 51% Sunni/49% Shia, and they don't publish official stats on the breakdown in their census. Is there any way to indicate that this % is uncertain or contested? 205.175.106.234 (talk) 20:07, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
