Where third culture kids actually grow up, what they speak, and which childhoods are most common. Counted from 4 members of the Oh My Person community. Updated October 2026.
The census is still early: fewer than 30 people have added where they grew up so far, so treat these numbers as a first look, not findings. Every new member makes it sharper.

Journalists, researchers, creators: go ahead, no permission needed. Please link back to this page.
Numbers come from what members list on their own Oh My Person profile: the countries they grew up in, their parents' countries, and the languages they speak. Test and demo accounts are excluded. Percentages are of members who answered that question.
Nothing here identifies anyone. Any figure based on fewer than 3 people is left out, and figures are recalculated every hour.
The sample is people who joined a dating and community site for TCKs, so it isn't a random sample of all third culture kids. Quiz scores come from everyone who took the quiz, members or not.
