Evidence: Supports Bahrain's 2024 total, citizen and non-citizen population counts and the historical foreign-share anchors.
Nationality is the population classification; the two groups are citizens and non-citizens, not ethnicity or country of birth.
The 2024 nationality split uses the official register counts. The two counts reconcile exactly to the published resident total.
Both rows use the same iGA release, year and person unit, and their sum proves the population denominator.
