Costa Ricans (Spanish: Costarricenses; also called Ticos) are the citizens of Costa Rica, a multiethnic,[3] Spanish-speaking nation in Central America. Costa Ricans are predominantly Castizos, other ethnic groups people of Indigenous, European, African and Asian (predominantly Chinese) descent.[4]

By 2018, Costa Rica has a population of 5,000,000 people. The population growth rate between 2005 and 2010 estimated to be 1.5% annually, with a birth rate of 17.8 live births per 1,000 inhabitants and a mortality rate of 4.1 deaths per 1,000 inhabitants. By 2016, the population had increased to about 4.9 million.[5]

Costa Rica was the point where the Mesoamerican and South American native cultures met. The northwest of the country, the Nicoya peninsula, was the southernmost point of Nahuatl cultural influence when the Spanish conquerors (conquistadores) came in the 16th century. The central and southern portions of the country had Chibcha influences. The Atlantic coast, meanwhile, was populated with Jamaican immigrant workers during the 19th century. The country has received immigration from Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas etc. The immigration received from Nicaragua and the rest of Central America during this century can be perceived nowadays in every corner of the country.
