Check out the new FORUM! Our People Ticos, as Costa Ricans are commonly known, are a fairly mixed bunch. Though the majority of the country's 3.3 million inhabitants are the descendents of Spanish immigrants, many families originated from other parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and, of course, Central America. You may be surprised by the number of fair-skinned people you'll see in the country, especially in the Central Valley. In the lowlands, more people are mestizo that is mixture of European and Indigenous blood whereas the majority along the Caribbean coast are of African lineage, and much of the Talamanca Mountain Range is inhabited by full-blooded Indians of various ethnicities. Costa Rica is unquestionably the most racially homogeneous Central American nation. Travelers familiar with other Central American countries will immediately notice the contrast: The vast majority of Costa Ricans look predominantly European. A 1995 census classified 96 percent of the 3.4 million population as white or mestizo (of European and African or Native American ancestry), and 3 percent as black or Native American. Most Costa Ricans insist their country is a "classless democracy." True, the social tensions that characterize many neighboring nations are absent. Ticos (Costa Ricans) lack the volatility, ultranationalism, and deep-seated political divisions of their neighbors. There is considerable social mobility, and nearly everyone shares a conviction that through individual effort, sacrifice, and schooling anyone can climb the socioeconomic ladder. Still, the average income is slightly less than US$3,000 per annum—and blacks and the indigenous people have traditionally been anything but "classless."
